Using it, it becomes possible to convert regional surveying points into the WGS84 locations used by GPS. For example, starting with the Gauss–Krüger coordinate, x and y, plus the height, h, are converted into 3D values in steps: Undo the map projection: calculation of the ellipsoidal latitude, longitude and height (W, L, H)
KML files are very often distributed as KMZ files, which are zipped KML files with a .kmz extension. The contents of a KMZ file are a single root KML document and optionally any overlays, images, icons, and COLLADA 3D models referenced in the KML including network-linked KML files. The root KML document by convention is a file named "doc.kml ...
EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset (also EPSG registry) is a public registry of geodetic datums, spatial reference systems, Earth ellipsoids, coordinate transformations and related units of measurement, originated by a member of the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) in 1985.
The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) is a computer software library for reading and writing raster and vector geospatial data formats (e.g. shapefile), and is released under the permissive X/MIT style free software license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.
[37] [19] Baidu provides an API call to convert from Google or GPS (WGS-84), GCJ-02, BD-09, MapBar or 51ditu coordinates into Baidu or GCJ-02 coordinates. [ 38 ] [ 18 ] As required by local law, [ 38 ] there is no API to convert into WGS-84, but open source implementations in R [ 20 ] and various other languages [ 29 ] exist.
The most notable example of this was the publication of the Esri Shapefile format, [5] which by the late 1990s had become the most popular de facto standard for data sharing by the entire geospatial industry. [6]
Five million place names, political boundaries, latitude/longitude lines, and other data can be displayed. WorldWind.NET provided the ability to browse maps and geospatial data on the internet using the OGC's WMS servers (version 1.4 also uses WFS for downloading place names), import ESRI shapefiles and kml/kmz files. This is an example of how ...
GPS Exchange Format (GPX) is an XML schema designed as a common GPS data format for software applications. It can be used to describe waypoints, tracks, and routes.It is an open format [2] and can be used without the need to pay license fees.
