Quick Reference Guide

All the geographic conversions are based on the document Geomatics Guidance Note Number 7, part 2, Revised July 2012 released by International Association of Oil & Gas Producers.
The ellipsoidal distances are computed with the Vincenty's formulae.

Through this application you can perform a quick conversion between two coordinate reference systems.
In the main window you can convert a tuple of coordinates.
There is also an option to automatic convert a list of coordinates stored in a text file.
And is also possible to calculate the geodesic distance between two points.

Single Point Conversion

Define the Source and the Target Coordinate Reference Systems.
Manually by clicking on the three buttons to define Ellipsoid, Projection and Conversion Paramenters.
Automatic by loading a predefined Datum through the appropriate menu command.

Click on the arrow buttons to select the method of input.
If you select the geographic coordinates input, then you can set the format of the coordinates.

Coordinate List Conversion

Define the Source and the Target Coordinate Reference Systems.
Manually by clicking on the three buttons to define Ellipsoid, Projection and Conversion Paramenters.
Automatic by loading a predefined Datum through the appropriate menu command.
Click on the "File => Batch Conversion..." menu to open the appropriate form.

• First select the file to convert.
• Check and eventually set the field separator character.
• Set the number of Header rows if necessary.
• Set the coordinate type (Metric or Geographic), then the format.
• Once all the input settings are done, click on the Test Parse button to check the result for the first coordinate of the file.
• Now you have to set the format for the converted coordinates.

Set the name of the file where to save the conversion results.
Once everything is done just click on the Start conversion button to create the file with the converted coordinates.

Geodesic Distance Calculation

Define the Source and the Target Coordinate Reference Systems.
Manually by clicking on the three buttons to define Ellipsoid, Projection and Conversion Paramenters.
Automatic by loading a predefined Datum through the appropriate menu command.
Click on the File => Calculate Distance menu to open the appropriate form.

Check and eventually set the Coordinate Reference System.
Click on the arrow buttons to select the method of input.
If you select the geographic coordinates input, then you can set the format of the coordinates.
Input the coordinate of the start and the end points of the geodesic line.
Click on the "Compute Distance" button to view the resulting distance in the fields at the bottom of the window.
