Why do I get unexpected coordinates after converting EPSG 102014 to EPSG 4326?

Geographic Information Systems

What coordinate system is EPSG 4326?

WGS84 Coordinate Systems

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.

What is the difference between WGS84 and EPSG 4326?

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 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.

How do you convert coordinates to WGS84?

How to convert to WGS84:

  1. Select the Input SRS (the default format is WGS84).
  2. Input the coordinates in a decimal degrees (DD) format.
  3. Click “Transform” to quickly convert coordinates.
  4. Get your coordinates in the WGS84 on your display.

How do I know which EPSG code to use?

To find your EPSG code correctly, the most accurate way is to check the coordinate system information on your GPS device, sometimes it won’t show the EPSG code directly. Instead, you will have the name and related information of the coordinate system.
 

Does Google Maps use EPSG 4326?

When Fusion creates a map that uses maps.google.com imagery as the source, it uses Google Maps projection for the rasterized vectors so that they match the underlying Google Map tiles. This EPSG code is EPSG:900913 or EPSG:3785. However, GEE builds 3D data using the WGS84 datum (EPSG:4326).

Is EPSG 4326 Mercator?

Both WGS84 (EPSG::4326) and Spherical Mercator (EPSG::3857) use the same spheroid (reference surface) WGS84 (yes, with the same name) EPSG::7030. It means that transformation between the geographic coordinate system (WGS84) and the projected coordinate system (Spherical Mercator) is lossless in terms of precision.
 

What is the current version of WGS84?

G2139

WGS 84 has most recently been updated to use the reference frame G2139, which was released on January 3, 2021 as an update to G1762′ (with a prime). This frame is aligned with the IGb14 realization of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) 2014 and uses new Antex standard.

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 WGS84 a projected coordinate system?

A map will have only one coordinate system, either Geographic or Projected in our software’s terminology. For example, the “WGS84 projection” is a geographic one. A UTM projection is a projected one.
 

What type of coordinate system is WGS84?

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.

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).
