In geodesy, geographic coordinate conversion is defined as translation among different coordinate formats or map projections all referenced to the same geodetic datum. [1] A geographic coordinate transformation is a translation among different geodetic datums. Both geographic coordinate conversion and transformation will be considered in this ...
Blue Marble's first software product, the Geographic Calculator, [2] was developed in 1992 and released in 1993. The Geographic Calculator is a coordinate conversion library with a database of coordinate mathematical objects including projections, coordinate systems, datums, ellipsoids, linear and angular units. The tool is primarily used to ...
Provides geographical coordinates of a location when a "Pushpin" has been created. Find the feature or the location you want to know the geographical coordinates of, either by manually using the map and zooming in, or by entering a place name or address into the search field. Right-click on the map at the site where you want the pushpin to appear.
uses of older templates are currently being migrated to this format using a bot; Data entered into template is validated (input validation) One template for all input formats; named parameters for coordinates (NS=/EW=) named parameters for type/region/globe etc. Less overhead (5-10 subtemplates only). can display text/icons instead of coordinates
Convert from geodetic coordinates to geocentric coordinates: Calculation of x, y and z relative to the reference ellipsoid of surveying 7-parameter transformation (where x , y and z almost always change by a few hundred metres at most, and distances by a few mm per km).
These letters form the third and fourth characters of a full GEOREF coordinate. Four letters thus identify any 1-degree quadrangle in the world. Each of the 1-degree quadrangles is further subdivided into 60 1-minute longitude zones, numbered 00 through 59 from west to east, and 60 1-minute latitude bands, numbered 00 to 59 from south to north.
A geodetic datum or geodetic system (also: geodetic reference datum, geodetic reference system, or geodetic reference frame, or terrestrial reference frame) is a global datum reference or reference frame for unambiguously representing the position of locations on Earth by means of either geodetic coordinates (and related vertical coordinates) or geocentric coordinates.

To add to the top of an article, use {{}}, {{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display=title}} These coordinates are in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc. "title" means that the coordinates will be displayed next to the article's title at the top of the page (in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view) and before any other text or images.
