Remove `zone_letter` and `northern`

greatvovan opened this issue · comments

Latitude bands are not part of UTM specification. Similarly, northing ranges for North and South hemispheres do not overlap. Therefore, zone_letter and northern parameters seem redundant and not needed for conversion.

It is okay however to output them when converting to UTM. But I think they should be removed from to_latlon() function.
