Getting wrong lat/lang after transforming from “EPSG:900913” projection to “EPSG:4326”

What projection is 900913?

Answer. 900913 is used as a well-known ID (WKID) by some Web services for the spherical Mercator-based coordinate system used by Bing maps and Google maps. The 900913 value is a representation of the Google name and originated in the blog entry, Google Projection: 900913.
 

What is the difference between EPSG 4326 and EPSG 3857?

Difference between EPSG 4326 & 3857



EPSG: 4326 uses a coordinate system on the surface of a sphere or ellipsoid of reference. Think of it as this way: EPSG 4326 uses a coordinate system the same as a GLOBE (curved surface). EPSG 3857 uses a coordinate system the same as a MAP (flat surface).

Is EPSG 4326 projected?

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 EPSG 4326?

EPSG:4326 is a geographic coordinate system that makes use of the WGS84 ellipsoid. The difference is more than just nitpicking; however. A geographic coordinate system is more than just the ellipsoid. It adds a coordinate system and units of measurement.
 

What is the latitude and longitude of EPSG 4326?

47.4° North latitude and 8.5° East longitude. Implementation of the WGS84 geographic coordinate system into your map application can be done through MapTiler Cloud, where your map and tiles are prepared.
 

What is the EPSG code for latitude longitude?

EPSG Code:



The standard latitude/longitude projection based on the WGS84 datum is “EPSG:4326”. “EPSG:4326” describes latitude/longitude coordinates. The string “EPSG:900913” is newer, and not supported by all software, but describes coordinates in meters in x/y.

Is WGS84 the same as lat long?

What’s called “WGS84” is usually a specific standard for lat-long, more formally called “EPSG Coordinate Reference System Code 4326”. These are the coordinates used by GPS location systems, and should be the default lat-long system for any new data.
 

What type of projection is WGS 1984?

Web Mercator, Google Web Mercator, Spherical Mercator, WGS 84 Web Mercator or WGS 84/Pseudo-Mercator is a variant of the Mercator map projection and is the de facto standard for Web mapping applications. It rose to prominence when Google Maps adopted it in 2005.

Is WGS84 a projection system?

For example, the “WGS84 projection” is a geographic one. A UTM projection is a projected one. Either of these will use only one datum. However, the data on the map could have come from multiple sources, all with unique projections and therefore datums.
 

What are the 3 basic projection types?

Each of the main projection types—conic, cylindrical, and planar—are illustrated below.
