Data from EPSG dataset in proj format

Geographic Information Systems

How do I find my EPSG code?

The terrain data is reprojected from their source Coordinate System to the Project Coordinate System. An online database with all coordinate system and its EPSG code can be found online on http://spatialreference.org.

What is EPSG coordinates?

Answer. EPSG stands for European Petroleum Survey Group. They publish a database of coordinate system information plus some very good related documents on map projections and datums. The Projection Engine uses a modified version of the EPSG model.

Is EPSG 4326 the same as WGS84?

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.

What does the EPSG database contain?

The database contains coordinate systems and their components, coordinate transformations and their details (e.g. Bursa Wolf transformation parameters) as well as a table with units of measure and a list of predefined queries.

What is EPSG 32630?

EPSG:32630



Scope: Large and medium scale topographic mapping and engineering survey.

Is EPSG a projected coordinate system?

EPSG 4326 (i.e. WGS 84) is not a projection. But if you don’t associate a projection to this geographic coordinate system, and naively render the coordinates as x/y coordinates on a grid, you do get something that is sort of a projection: the pseudo plate carée (equirectangular) projection.

What is my coordinate reference system?

A Coordinate reference system (CRS) defines, with the help of coordinates, how the two-dimensional, projected map is related to real locations on the earth. There are two different types of coordinate reference systems: Geographic Coordinate Systems and Projected Coordinate Systems.

What is EPSG in CRS?

A particular CRS can be referenced by its EPSG code (i.e., epsg:4121). The EPSG is a structured dataset of CRS and Coordinate Transformations. It was originally compiled by the, now defunct, European Petroleum Survey Group.

What is EPSG 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.
