Example: North 47.018711° | East 12.34256° Input:
The latitude input is a decimal number between -89.999999 and 89.999999.
If latitude is given in S as in south, the number here must be preceded by a minus.
The longitude input is a decimal number between -179.999999 and 179.9999999.
If the longitude is given in W as in West, the number here must be preceded by a minus sign.
If these limits are not respected during entry, the frame will turn red or the fields will remain empty.
Lat: °(N) Watch out!
Since this converter uses negative north values instead of positive south values, you must prefix your value with a - if it contains an S - prefix.
So 10.12345 S becomes -10.12345 N here!Lon: °(E) Watch out!
Since this converter uses negative east values instead of positive west values, prefix your value with a - if it contains the specification W.
So 20.12345 W becomes -20.12345 E here!
Example: North 47°1.122 | East 12° 20.553'. The latitude input must be between -89 and 89 and must be an integer.
The longitude input must be between -179 and 179 and must be an integer.
The minutes entry for latitude and longitude is an optional decimal number, but when entered it must be between 0 and 59.99999.
If these limits are not respected during the entry, the frame will turn red or the fields will remain empty.
Lat: ° '(N) Watch out!
Since this converter uses negative north values instead of positive south values, prefix your degree value with a - if it contains an S.
So 10° 1.2345' S becomes -10° 1.2345' N!Lon: ° '(E) Watch out!
Since this converter uses negative east values instead of positive west values, prefix your degree value with a - if it contains the specification W.
So 20° 1.2345' W becomes -20° 1.2345' E!
Example: North 47° 1' 7.359' | East 12° 20' 33.216''. The latitude input must be between -89 and 89 and must be an integer. If these limits are not respected during the entry, the frame will turn red or the fields will remain empty.
The longitude input must be between -179 and 179 and must be an integer.
The minutes input for latitude and longitude must be between 0 and 59 and must be an integer.
Entering the seconds for latitude and longitude is optional, but must be between 0 and 59.99999.
Lat: ° ' "(N) Watch out!
Since this converter uses negative north values instead of positive south values, prefix your degree value with a - if it contains an S.
So 10° 1' 2.345' S becomes -10° 1' 2.345' N!Lon: ° ' "(E) Watch out!
Since this converter uses negative east values instead of positive west values, prefix your degree value with a - if it contains the specification W.
So from 20° 1' 2.345'; W becomes -20° 1' 2.345' E!
Example: E (East) = 2783009 | N (North) = 1223568 Since these coordinates are only used in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, the limits for N and E apply. The northernmost point is at about 47.8 degrees and therefore the maximum value for N is 1,300,000. If these limits are not met when entering data, the frame turns red or the fields remain empty.
The southernmost point is at about 45.8 degrees and therefore the minimum value for N is 1,074,000.
The easternmost point is at about 10.5 degrees and thus the maximum value for E: 2,834,000.
The westernmost point is at about 5.9 degrees and thus the minimum value for E: 2,484,000.

Example: R (legal value) = 4468298 | H (high value) = 5333791 Since the underlying ellipsoid for these coordinates is only used in Germany, there are bounds for R and H. If these limits are not met when entering data, the frame turns red or the fields remain empty.
The northernmost point is at about 56 degrees and therefore the maximum value for H is: 6200000
The southernmost point is about 46 degrees, making the minimum value for H: 5000000.
The westernmost point is at about 5 degrees and thus the maximum value for R: 5700000.

The difference is that WGS 84 is a geographic coordinate system, and UTM is a projected coordinate system. Geographic coordinate systems are based on a spheroid and utilize angular units (degrees).
What coordinate system does WGS84 use? ›The Global Positioning System uses the World Geodetic System (WGS84) as its reference coordinate system. It consists of a reference ellipsoid, a standard coordinate system, altitude data, and a geoid. Similar to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), it uses the Earth's center mass as the coordinate origin.
How do I change my GIS coordinate system? ›- On the Map Properties dialog box, click the Coordinate Systems tab. ...
- To change either the horizontal or vertical coordinate system, click the button below the Current XY or Current Z heading, respectively. ...
- Click OK to set the coordinate system and close the Map Properties dialog box.
4326 is just the EPSG identifier of WGS84. WGS84 comprises a standard coordinate frame for the Earth, a datum/reference ellipsoid for raw altitude data.
Does Google Maps use EPSG 4326? ›
EPSG:4326. EPSG:4326, also known as the WGS84 projection (because it's based on WGS84's ellipsoid), is a coordinate system used in Google Earth and GSP systems. It represents Earth as a three-dimensional ellipsoid.
How can I convert coordinates? ›- Step 1: Multiply (×) the "degrees" by 60.
- Step 2: Add (+) the "minutes"
- Step 3: If the Latitude (Longitude) degrees are S (W) use a minus sign ("-") in front. ...
- Step 4: Subtract Reference Location converted to Minutes.
A map will have only one coordinate system, either Geographic or Projected in our software's terminology. For example, the “WGS84 projection” is a geographic one. A UTM projection is a projected one.
What is the difference between Clarke 1880 and WGS 84? ›The world geodetic system (WGS-84) ellipsoid today becomes an important ellipsoid [3]. This is so, because it is the surface on which Global Positioning System (GPS) observations are reduced to. On the other hand, Clarke-1880 is one of the famous traditional reference ellipsoids or geodetic datum.
What is the coordinates code for WGS84? ›The WGS84 Coordinate Systems adds Greenwich as the starting point (prime meridian) for the longitude (0°) and sets the units in degrees (°). This coordinate system also has a unique reference code, the so-called EPSG code, which is 4326.
Is WGS84 the same as latitude and longitude? ›The World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) is a 3-dimensional coordinate reference frame for establishing latitude, longitude and heights for navigation, positioning and targeting for the DoD, IC, NATO, International Hydrographic Office and the International Civil Aviation Organization.
How to convert local coordinates to global coordinates in AutoCAD? ›- Assign a desired Coordinate System to your Map. Open a new drawing. Click Map > Tools > Assign Global Coordinate System. ...
- Connect to the Data. In Display Manager, click Data > Connect To Data. ...
- Performing a Coordinate Transformation.
WGS84 is defined and maintained by the United States National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). It is consistent, to about 1cm, with the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). It is a global datum, which means that coordinates change over time for objects which are fixed in the ground.
