Documentation

Everything you need to know about using the GeoXY coordinate converter.

Getting Started

Open the Converter

Navigate to the Converter page. You'll see two tabs: Single and Batch.

Select Datums

Choose your source datum (the coordinate system your data is in) and target datum (what you want to convert to).

Enter Coordinates

Type or paste your coordinates. The input format buttons (DD, DMS, UTM) change how you enter values.

Convert

Click the Convert button. The result appears in the output panel, where you can also switch formats.

Datum Selection

Source Datum

The current coordinate system of your data. Select from 40+ datums organized by country/region.

Target Datum

The desired output coordinate system. WGS84 is the global standard for most modern applications.

Swap Button

Quickly swap source and target datums to reverse a conversion.

Native Format

Each datum has a native format. Geographic datums default to DD, projected datums to their projected format.

Input Formats

DD (Decimal Degrees)

Latitude and longitude in decimal format, e.g., 21.4225, 39.8262.

DMS (Degrees/Minutes/Seconds)

Degrees, minutes, and seconds, e.g., 21°25'21"N 39°49'34"E.

UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator)

Easting, northing, and zone number. Zone auto-detects from the datum's coverage area.

Projected

For projected datums like Egypt Red Belt or Aramco Lambert. Uses the datum's native projected coordinates.

Batch Conversion

Paste Data

Paste tab-separated or comma-separated coordinates. Up to 500 rows per batch.

Column Layout

Specify whether columns are easting-northing or lat-lon to match your data format.

Run Conversion

All rows are processed at once. Invalid rows show an error message instead of failing the whole batch.

Copy Results

Copy the converted results to clipboard for use in your GIS software or spreadsheet.

Map & Visualization

View on Map

After batch conversion, click View Map to plot all points on an interactive MapLibre map.

Elevation Profiles

Fetch elevation data for your points via AWS Terrain Tiles. Points are color-coded by elevation.

Intermediate Points

Generate intermediate points along a path or within an area grid for detailed elevation profiling.

Contours

Generate contour lines from elevation data for terrain analysis.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Tab / Shift+Tab

Navigate between input fields and controls.

Enter

Trigger the Convert or Run Conversion button.

Escape

Close modals, dismiss toasts, or cancel operations.
