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).
