zoomieviper Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I have a county land survey plot with coordinates 624116.0087 northing and 1358470.5376 easting or 624475.3803 northing and 1358637.9679 easting I gather that these are GIS surveyor coordinates ?? how can I convert these to GPS coordinates ? thanks Mark zoomieviper@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Wilson & a Mt. Goat Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Those appear to be Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. I usually convert them using this site: http://www.rcn.montana.edu/resources/tools/coordinates.aspx Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Probably (depends on your unit), you can switch your unit temporarily to UTM, hand-enter the coords, then switch back to the usual notation before you forget. Quote Link to comment
+Timpat Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 My first thought is these are in a State Plane coordinate system that surveyors generally use. If you can provide your general location I can give a better answer. Quote Link to comment
+Cardinal Red Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 My first thought is these are in a State Plane coordinate system that surveyors generally use. If you can provide your general location I can give a better answer. I think you could have the best response so far. Reading previous suggestions that this is UTM, absent a Grid Zone designation, bothered me. Quote Link to comment
+Timpat Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 And, the Easting is usually given first, so the Northing coords given, if UTM, would put you as far south as Nicaragua. Quote Link to comment
