this is most puzzling

to begin with
i am surprised that nobody has come forward with the answer
since i had imagined most gps receivers could make such a
conversion routinely
& also imagined many if not most members own gps receivers
tho perhaps i am mistaken there

& since i dont know how to make the conversion
i wanted to try to figure it out

so i began by determining you had to be in zone 34 for ltplru
& then tried plugging your utm coords in at several sites such as
http://www.agcrc.csiro.au//info/resources/proj.html
etc

& consistently got an impossible location
around n29d35m x e69d15m
or in other words somewhere in central pakistan

so i wonder if you or anyone can explain where i went wrong
& also why this question remains unanswered for so long
