Coordinate Conversion Utility

1. Instructions
*conversions will only work if you fill in the name column
* Note that you can only enter data into the unshaded cells!

1. Coordinate Conversion

1.1 Gauss Conform -> Geographic, Transverse Mercator, UTM and Geocentric Cartesian
1.2 Geographic -> Gauss Conform, Transverse Mercator, UTM and Geocentric Cartesian

1.3 Geocentric Cartesian -> Geographic, Gauss Conform, Transverse Mercator and UTM

1.4 dd.ddddddd <-> dd mm.sssss <-> dd mm ss.sssss

 Datum Definition
Note: It is crucial to ensure that the Datum and the associated ellipsoid is correctly selected, as
all conversions uses parameters associated with the datum
All conversion programs uses the datum definition in the "white box" below
Instructions: In the Box below (C7),
