Transverse Mercator Projection (or UTM) is usually implemented. Mathematically
speaking, there is no essential difference between UTM and Gauss projections. The only
difference is that the scale factor of UTM is 0.9996 rather than 1. With a slight
modification, the non-iterative expressions of the forward and inverse Gauss
projections can be extended to UTM projection accordingly.
