Please pay attention to the values if necessary. However, only the CH coordinates are calculated here. Vaduz has the CH coordinates Y 758008 | X 223061, which results in LIE coordinates Y 158008 | X 23061. The starting point of all calculations for Switzerland was fixed at Bern and is Y:600000 East | X:200000 North.įor Liechtenstein the reference point is also Bern, but with the values Y:0 | X:0, so that e.g. Swiss Grid, too, are the official Swiss national coordinates. It is interesting to note that a minute of latitude corresponds to about 1.852 km and thus defines a nautical mile. The second number indicates the minutes in whole numbers from 0 to 59,Īnd the last number indicates the seconds as an integer or decimal number from 0 to 59.999999. Sexagesimal means, because 1 degree corresponds to 60 minutes, 1 minute corresponds to 60 seconds.Īn example is 52° 12' 43.33" N(North), 12° 44' 33" E(East), Degrees Minutes Seconds (historical notation, sexagesimal, DD° MM' SS.SS")

The second number is the minute integer or decimal number from 0 to 59.999999.įor a sufficient accuracy, the same values apply here as for decimal notation. Where the first number is an integer of the degrees (D=degree) and must be between -180 and 180. This is also a common spelling, which is common in geocaching and especially in seafaring, where the minute is usually sufficient as the smallest specification.Īn example is 52° 12.2345' N(north), 12° 44.5678' E(east), Degrees Minutes (nautical notation, DD° MM.MMMM') Like most systems, we use 6 decimal places, which corresponds to an accuracy of 1 meter.

With only 2 decimal places there is a possible deviation of up to 1km, with 4 decimal places there is only a deviation of 10m, The accuracy of this specification depends strongly on the number of decimal places. This system is used mainly because it can be calculated very well.Īn example for coordinates in decimal degree of Berlin (Siegessäule): Lat 52.514487 N, Lng 13.350126 E On this page you can calculate and work with it, as well as Google Maps and Microsoft (Bing) Maps. Decimal degree (decimal notation, DD.DDDDDD°) The length is given in -180° to +180° East, instead of 180° West to 180° East. On this page the latitude is given in decimal degrees from -90° to +90°, it would also be possible to give from 90° south to 90° north. The geographical coordinates describe a point by its angular distance from the equator. The World Geodetic System of 1984 is a geodetic reference system used by many GPS devices as a uniform basis for position information on Earth. This tool allows you to convert MGRS coordinates, the output is Latitude Longitude (Decimal Degrees), Latitude Longitude (DMS / Degrees, Minutes, Seconds), UTM, Active CRS, +Code and Address (requires internet access) at once.Information on geographical coordinates, conversion and calculation This tool allows you to convert UTM (WGS 84) coordinates, the output is Latitude Longitude (Decimal Degrees), Latitude Longitude (DMS / Degrees, Minutes, Seconds), MGRS, Active CRS, +Code and Address (requires internet access) at once. This tool allows you to convert Latitude Longitude (DMS / Degrees, Minutes, Seconds) (WGS84) coordinates, the output is Latitude Longitude (Decimal Degrees), UTM (WGS84), MGRS, Active CRS, +Code and Address (requires internet access) at once. The results can be saved as data points, displayed on a map shared to other programs or finding its location in the field with the help of compass and GPS on your mobile device. This tool allows you to convert Latitude Longitude (Decimal Degrees) (WGS84) coordinates, the output is Latitude Longitude (DMS / Degrees, Minutes, Seconds), UTM (WGS84), MGRS, Active CRS, +Code and Address (requires internet access) at once. Some conversion modules are support for batch conversion. This module allows you to perform coordinate transformations manually between our supported coordinate system, convert addresses to coordinates (geocoding / inverse geocoding) and resolve Open Location Codes (Plus Codes).
