MRE transforms are used to transform local datums over continent-sized or smaller regions to global datums, such as WGS 84. [30] The standard NIMA TM 8350.2, Appendix D, [31] lists MRE transforms from several local datums to WGS 84, with accuracies of about 2 meters. [32]
Use |display=title (or |display=inline,title) once per article, for the subject of the article, where appropriate. Per WP:ORDER , the template is placed at the bottom of the article in the 'end matter', after any navigation templates , but before all categories , including the {{ DEFAULTSORT }} template.
The second edition consists of a main part and eight annexes (Annexes A through H). The main part and Annexes A and C give encoding-independent general rules to define items to specify geographic point(s). Annex D suggests a display style for human interface. Annexes F and G suggest styles of XML expression. Annex H suggests string expression ...
Length of one degree (black), minute (blue) and second (red) of latitude and longitude in metric (upper half) and imperial units (lower half) at a given latitude (vertical axis) in WGS84. For example, the green arrows show that Donetsk (green circle) at 48°N has a Δ long of 74.63 km/° (1.244 km/min, 20.73 m/sec etc) and a Δ lat of 111.2 km ...
Geodetic latitude and geocentric latitude have different definitions. Geodetic latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and the surface normal at a point on the ellipsoid, whereas geocentric latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and a radial line connecting the centre of the ellipsoid to a point on the surface (see figure).
This template is designed to convert a set of Swiss coordinates into either the corresponding WGS84 decimal latitude or longitude. It is intended to facilitate the usage of geodata (see {}) in articles about subjects for which only Swiss coordinates are readily available. The template should always be substituted.
WGS84 angle to distance conversion: Image title: Length of one degree (black), minute (blue) and second (red) of latitude and longitude in metric (upper half) and imperial (lower half) units at a given latitude in WGS84 by CMG Lee. For comparison, dotted lines denote corresponding lengths assuming a spherical Earth.
View from the Swabian Jura to the Alps. Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length.. The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude.
