How to convert geographic coordinate system to projected coordinate system?
Change a Coordinate System in a Map Layer
- Open ArcToolbox.
- Open Data Management Tools → Projections and Transformations → Feature → Project.
- Choose the Projected Coordinate System folder or the Geographic Coodinate System folder, depending upon the Coordinate Systems of your other files and how you want to match them.
What is the difference between WGS84 and 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).

How do you convert geographic coordinates?
Community Mapping Experiment: How to Convert Latitude and Longitude to Map Coordinates
- Step 1: Multiply (×) the “degrees” by 60.
- Step 2: Add (+) the “minutes”
- Step 3: If the Latitude (Longitude) degrees are S (W) use a minus sign (“-“) in front.
- Step 4: Subtract Reference Location converted to Minutes.
Is WGS 1984 a geographic coordinate system?
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). It is a global datum, which means that coordinates change over time for objects which are fixed in the ground.
How do you calculate UTM coordinates?
To make UTM measurements, subdivide the 1,000-meter grid squares into tenths or hundredths. This narrows down the coordinate to a 100 meter or 10 meter square. Measurements can be made using a gridded mylar overlay, a paper scale, or a coordinate reader.
What geoid does WGS 84 use?
The present WGS 84 system uses the 1996 Earth Gravitational Model (EGM96) geoid and is the ellipsoid that best fits the geoid model for the selected survey points in the set.

Is UTM based on WGS84?
The World Geodetic System WGS84 ellipsoid is now generally used to model the Earth in the UTM coordinate system, which means current UTM northing at a given point can differ up to 200 meters from the old.
