latitude/longitude conversion functions #3

Closed dlech closed 1 year ago

dlech commented 2 years ago

For mission items, we need the latitude and longitude in degrees. But all of our distance measurements are in meters. So we need a ways to convert latitude and longitude coordinates to UTM coordinates and back.

The MAVSDK C++ library has functions for this but they probably aren't available in the Python library. We should be able to translate the code to Python.

Debian also has a package for pyproj v3.0.
