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.
