Jerry,

Your information is exactly what I am looking for. I was thinking about =
getting the Easting and Northing
for Longitude =3D12 assuming it is in the east zone using FALSE Easting =
=3D252000, and get another pair of Easting/Northing assuming it is in =
the west zone using FALSE Easting =3D150000. Hopefully the first Easting =
(EMidline_West) is much larger than the second Easting (EMidline_East).=20

Now when I want to calculate Lat/Lon from a pair of (E, N) ,  I can =
determine which set of parameters to use by comparing  E to the =
(EMidline_East+ EMidline_West)/2.=20

Does any one have more information about the overlapping thing for =
Italy?  Why should Italy have the overlapping region??

Thanks,

  I don't know the details of the zones for Italy, but I have a comment

  Based on website, http://rmmcnt7.cr.usgs.gov/cscodes.htm=20

  Italy zones are divided thus:
  "[Italy]
  IT-W     =3D Italy, West Fuse, West of 12 degrees E
  IT-E     =3D Italy, East Fuse, East of 12 degrees E "

  Thus, you have to know which part of Italy you're working.  Unless the =
False Easting at the central meridians differ enough, as Todd Jamison =
said, x-y pairs would not be unique so some prior knowledge of =
geographic location is necessary.

    Subject: [OSRS] A question about Italy Map Projection.


    I am working to convert a set of E&N coordinates in Italy back into =
latitude and longitude. I know there are tow zones (east zone and west =
zone) in Italy. The projection method is: Transverse Mercator or Gauss =
Boaga. I also know the Roma 1840 Datum for the 2 zones.=20

    My Question is: If I am given a pair of (E,N) coordinate, how can I =
tell it is in the east zone or it is in the west zone?=20

    I would greatly appreciate if any body can help me with this.
