<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Szilard<br><br></div>concerning you first point "using the command properly"<br></div>a) first you have to use input telling if your coordinate are north/south and east/west. so transform <br>
26d25'55" 126d15'04" to 26d25'55"S 126d15'04"E<br></div>b) you need to specifie that you want UTM51 south and not utm51 north by using the +south parameters<br></div><a href="http://spatialreference.org">spatialreference.org</a> is a very good ressource for finding this kind of stuff :<a href="http://www.spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/32751/"> http://www.spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/32751/</a><br>
