I'm not really sure what you are trying to do..?

I would suggest using PROJ.4 for that rather than reimplementing it ourselves.  http://trac.osgeo.org/proj

PROJ.4 is written by some seriously smart people and using it would open
the door to a massive amount of possible projections, not just the limited
case of UTM.

I would note that AFAICT LLtoUTM() is not used anywhere in the GpsDrive
code at this time.
