coordinates
Current version: v1.0g (released 17.10.2023)

Coordinates is a software library written in Python3 for converting coordinates between different coordinate systems. Supported are the following coordinate systems:

  • WGS84 (lat/lon)
  • ETRS-TM35FIN (xy)
  • KKJ and YKJ (Finnish) (xy and lat/lon)
  • ETRS-GKn (xy)
  • MGRS

Library also contains functions for calculating distances, bearings and travel in WGS84 coordinate system.

Implementation details and known restrictions

  • The KKJ, ETRS-TM35FIN and ETRS-GKn algorithms are implemented by the author according to Finnish JHS 154.
  • The KKJ, ETRS-TM35FIN and ETRS-GKn coordinate functions work only with coordinates that are in the area of Finland.
  • MGRS conversion functions do not support the polar regions (Antarctic and North pole).
