GEOGRAPHIC UTM COORDINATE CONVERTER MANUAL

for WGS84, see coordinate-parser and magellan-coords. For conversions from a coordinate system to another, see Proj4js and Proj.įor latitude and longitude flavoured parsing e.g. See the utm-coordinate-parser at NPM as well as axelpale/utm-coordinate-parser at GitHub for further details. Programmatic usage of the package is simple: > const utm = require('utm-coordinate-parser') Thanks to utm-coordinate-parser, users may type and even paste UTM coordinates successfully regardless the exact format.

For many travellers, mobile devices are the only possibility.

GEOGRAPHIC UTM COORDINATE CONVERTER MANUAL

Manual conversion can be a pain and especially so with tiny keyboards of mobile devices. If Georap or any other end-user GIS application supports only single input format, users would have to convert their coordinates to it. Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projections such as NZTM in New Zealand and ETRS89 TM35 in Finland are widely used in their respected zones and thus often faced on the field. Users often want to input coordinates they have found in paper maps, info boards and books, as well as in forums and message boards. Simple and robust textual coordinate input became a desirable feature in Georap GIS project. The UTM system is not a single map projection. It is used to identify locations on the earth, but differs from the traditional method of latitude and longitude in several respects. Therefore I created an open source Node.js package utm-coordinate-parser that manages exactly that, parsing the easting and northing values from the various formats. The Universal Transverse Mercator ( UTM) coordinate system is a grid-based method of specifying locations on the surface of the Earth. It is not a trivial task to extract the numeric values from them. There are many ways to write geographical coordinates in UTM coordinate systems in the wild: 327874 12345
