Subject: [MI-L] Egyptian coordinates

 

Hi List,

 

I was wondering if anyone had experience converting Egyptian coordinates to UTM zone 36 R?

 

 

Well Number

Egyptian Coordinates

Well 1

E: 686340.56

N: 972041.7

Well 2

E: 686025.91

N: 971228.22

Well 3

E: 686611.32

N: 971302.08

 

I have this list of coordinates and i need to convert them to UTM, and I am having no luck.

 

 

I also have this in Egyptian coordinates

E 688588.094

N 973275.902

 

UTM eqivalent is  0383723, 3482396

 

Does anyone have an idea.

 

 

thanks a million :) cathy
