The CoordinateConversion extension allows the conversion of WGS84 coordinates to the national coordinate systems of:

  • The Netherlands - Rijksdriehoekscoördinaten, RD
  • France - Lambert93
  • Belgium - Lambert2008
  • Suisse - CH1903 (LV03) and CH1903+ (LV95)
  • Finland - TM35FIN, extended UTM zone 35N
  • Canada - MTM, SCOPQ
  • Great Britain - OSGB36
  • Republic Ireland and North Ireland - Irish Transverse Mercator
  • Luxembourg - LUREF
  • Conversion of (WGS84) geographical coordinates to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
  • Conversion of (WGS84) geographical coordinates to other coordinate reference system using https://epsg.io

Internal functions for

  • transverse Mercator projection (WGS84)
  • transverse Mercator projection (other mapdata)
  • Lambert projection
  • Datumtransformation

Special page "CCTest" (Special:CCTest) provided by this extension gives an overview of example use cases and their expected results.
