There can be various situations where you would like to convert a coordinate from one CRS to another. The Tygron Platform contains many methods to do this. However, sometimes a user needs to do a conversion in other software. This How-to decribes methods how you can convert a coordinate from one CRS to another.

World Coordinate Converter

How to How to convert coordinates using the world coordinate converter website:
  1. Open a browser and go to the website https://twcc.fr/#en/#
  2. In the right, select the input crs, for example WGS84.
  3. Select the location on the map when you do not know the exact coordinate, or type in the exact coordinate you want to convert in the right panel.
  4. Select the CRS you want the coordinate to be converted to, for example Amersfoort RD New (EPSG:28992)
  5. Press the convert button. You can now copy these coordinates.

EPSG Coordinate transformer

How to How to transform coordinates using the EPSG coordinate transformer:
  1. Open a browser and go to the website https://epsg.io/transform
  2. On the left, select the input crs, for example WGS84. Notice longitude is set here first, latitude second.
  3. Provide the exact coordinate you want to convert in the left panel. You can just provide the numbers in degrees with many decimals.
  4. On the right, select the CRS you want the coordinate to be converted to, for example Amersfoort RD New (EPSG:28992)
  5. Press the convert button. You can now copy these coordinates.

When to convert coordinates

Situations where you would need to convert a coordinate to an other CRS:
