coordinate conversion operators

Back to geometric-functions

Coordinate conversion operators transform point geometries between different coordinate reference systems (CRS). These operators are implemented as geodetic-templates and are available for use in any GeoDMS configuration. For a general overview of coordinate systems in GeoDMS, see coordinate-system.

The operators listed here focus on conversions between the Dutch national grid (RD New / EPSG:28992) and geographic coordinate systems. For more complex or general CRS transformations, consider using gdal directly.

• rd2latlongwgs84 - converts point coordinates from RD New (Dutch national grid) to WGS 84 geographic (latitude/longitude)
• latlongwgs842rd - converts point coordinates from WGS 84 geographic (latitude/longitude) to RD New
• rd2latlongge - converts point coordinates from RD New to the geographic system used by Google Earth (also WGS 84 based)
• rd2latlonged50 - converts point coordinates from RD New to ED50 geographic (latitude/longitude)
• rd2latlong - converts point coordinates from RD New to a generic LatLong system
