David,

one thing that I know here (and mentioned on the website that APound
gave) is that there are a bunch of different geodes that this
conversion can be done in. As you map your data from UTM to Lat Lon
and then use the maps be sure to use the right one. The frustrating
thing is that in one geographic region the wrong one can look fine and
look horrible in another, it can be truly annoying if it bites you.
Your UTM data should specify which one is being used.

The different one are:
NAD83/WGS84
GRS 80
WGS72
Australian 1965
Krasovsky 1940
International (1924) -Hayford (1909)
Clake 1880
Clarke 1866
Airy 1830
Bessel 1841
Everest 1830

Cheers,

Brian
