Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has a very accurate formula to calculate
meters to lat/lon (wgs84) and visa versa. The accuration has to be
around centimeters. The formulas I found on the web did not have
that amount of accuration.
I am very aware of the fact that GPS which gives the coordinates has a
deviation of 1-2 meters, but that isn't of any problem for my specific
research.
Thanks.

You posted links to software and even more links. I need formula's

For UTM, NGA TM 8358.2, from
<URL:http://earth-info.nga.mil/GandG/coordsys/csat_pubs.htm> ,
has formulas that give centimeter accuracy.
For UTM and other projections,

Or do you mean an Earth-centered Cartesian coordinate frame with
coordinates in meters?
