Converting from Lat/Lon (WGS84) to Mercator (UTM)

How do I convert WGS84 to UTM?

How to use the Coordinates Converter:

1. Select the Input SRS (the default format is WGS843).
2. Input the coordinates in a decimal degrees (DD)4 format.
3. Select the Output SRS (the default format is UTM – N31).
4. Click “Convert” to quickly convert coordinates.

How do you convert Lat Long to UTM coordinates?

Is UTM the same as lat long?

They are just two different ways of positioning a point. Many experienced users prefer UTM over latitude/longitude when using 7.5′ topographic quadrangle maps.

How do you convert latitude and longitude to grid reference?

So to convert a (WGS84) latitude/longitude point to an OS grid reference, it must first be converted from the WGS84 datum to the OSGB36 datum, then have the transverse Mercator projection applied to transform it from a curved surface to a flat one.

Is WGS84 the same as UTM?

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).
 

Is Google maps using WGS84?

(Google uses the World Geodetic System WGS84 standard.) World coordinates, which reference a point on the map uniquely.

What is WGS84 coordinates?

The World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) is a datum featuring coordinates that change with time. 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).

How to convert lat long to UTM in Python?

Convert to and from UTM coordinates with pyproj

1. In [2]: from pyproj import Proj.
2. myProj = Proj(“+proj=utm +zone=23K, +south +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs”)
3. lon, lat = myProj(df[‘Meters East’]. values, df[‘Meters South’]. values, inverse=True)
4. In [6]: UTMx, UTMy = myProj(lon, lat)

How do I enter WGS84 coordinates in Google Earth?

Use coordinates to search



Open Google Earth. In the Search box in the left-hand panel, enter coordinates using one of these formats: Decimal Degrees: such as 37.7°, -122.2° Degrees, Minutes, Seconds: such as 37°25’19.07″N, 122°05’06.24″W.

How do I find my UTM zone?

Take your longitude coordinate in decimal degrees and add 180.



So for example, the UTM zone number for 39° W would be found through these steps:

1. -39 + 180 = 141.
2. 141 / 6 = 23.5.
3. 5 rounds up to 24.

How do I change Google maps to UTM?

Quote from video: We can go to the functions menu and then select options and if we go to the 3d ribbon then we can change it to the UTM.
