Subject: [LegacyUG] Somewhat off topic: Nad83 format vs. GPS format ?
How to convert?
This is off topic, sort of.
I have acquired some data I erroneously believed contained "GPS"
formatted
longitude and latitude. It uses Nad83 format. For example, Lawndale
California (Zip code 90260) has Nad83 latitude of 33.888172 and a Nad83
longitude of-118.348328.
The reason I included the zip code is Lawndale is two zip codes, and
wanted
to be clear.
Supposedly, these can be easily converted to GPS format and a format
that
Legacy can use. Does anyone have the formula for this please?
Thank you.
Robert
