Longitude reference has been arbitrarily set at the Greenwich Meridian (it passes through the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich in the suburbs of London),Īnd the longitude of a point is the measurement of the angle formed by the half plane formed by the axis of the earth and passes through the Greenwich meridian and the half-plane formed by the axis The principle is the same for the longitude, with the difference that there is no natural reference like the equator for the latitude. Negative values are for the southern hemisphere locations, and latitude is worth 0 ° at the equator. The latitude of a point is the measurement of the angle formed by the equatorial plane with the line connecting this point to the center of the Earth.īy construction, it is comprised between -90 ° and 90 °. Visit the where am I page to get all the details of your current location coordinates. You can also find the location of any GPS coordinates, and geocode its address if available. Use this map to convert any address in its GPS coordinates.

If you don't know project from what to what, projection wkid is dynamic generated in the runtime, then like I said previously, you must need ajax, need internet to read projection string from website on the fly, in the run time.


X2, y2 = ansform(inProj, outProj, x1, y1) Here are a few examples using new/old capabilities based on the question: Using pyproj >= 2.2.0 import pyproj When using pyproj, note the differences from various releases in how it is used to transform data. from osgeo import ogrĬoordTransform = osr.CoordinateTransformation(inSpatialRef, outSpatialRef)

You can either specify another Spatial Reference System by entering the desired EPSG into the form under Spatial Reference or you can convert the returned coordinates with Python.įor instance you can use the GDAL Python bindings to convert this point from the projected coordinate system (EPSG 3857) to a geographic coordinate system (EPSG 4326). By default the site you linked to uses the Spatial Reference System EPSG 3857 (WGS84 Web Mercator).
