Our platform supports a variety of Geographic and Projected Coordinate Systems (6000+) from the EPSG Registry.

Each coordinate system is designed for use within a specific area, defined by a bounding box with minimum and maximum x and y values. While transformations can be performed between any two coordinate systems, optimal results occur when their bounding boxes intersect or overlap.

If you attempt to select two systems that do not share a common area, our application will notify you of a warning. This prevents unrealistic transformations and ensures accurate results.

The Degree, Minutes, Seconds (DMS) format is essential for precise geographic coordinates. It consists of four key components: Degrees, Minutes, Seconds, and Direction. Each value must be formatted correctly to ensure accuracy.

Supported Formats

• Special Character Format: Values are separated by specific symbols:
  • ° for Degrees
  • ' for Minutes
  • " for Seconds
  • Followed by a Direction indicator (N, S, E, W).
  • Examples:
  • 50°25'32.35"S
  • 23°49'32"E
  • 43°0'0"N
  • 78°0'0.23"W
• Space-Separated Format: Values are separated by spaces.
  • Examples:
  • 50 25 32.35 S
  • 23 49 32 E
  • 43 0 0 N
  • 78 0 0.23 W

Ensure that your values strictly follow the order: Degree, Minutes, Seconds, Direction for both formats. This ensures clarity and accuracy in geographic data representation.

For Longitude, any decimal value between -180 and 180 is accepted, while Latitude supports decimal values between -90 and 90. Please note that direction is indicated by the sign: use a negative sign for south and west coordinates, while east and north coordinates do not require a sign.
