Hi, 
That all depends, I guess on what version of WGS 84  datum the software 
uses to calculate the conversion.   Most softwares don't  even 
make a difference between wgs 84 and NAD 83.  I would look at the 
conversion parameters carefully.  Generally speaking, I would go with the 
governmental product as they must have a better control over stuff like GPS 
time and Continental drift...

        Hi,
I have a point in WGS84 UTM32 coordinate
E 589747.816
N 4871699.496
I saved in EPSG 3003 with the following coordinates:
E 1589776.553
N 4871716.117
A colleague made the same conversion using free software "traspunto" ( 
http://www.mondogis.com/traspunto.html ) developed by the Italian Enviromental 
Ministry. He got this result (EPSG 3003 coordinates):
E 1589776.054
N 4871716.382
I try another online tool ( 
http://www.sardegnageoportale.it/webgis/raswebconverter/index?stato_quale=punto
 ) and I found these EPSG3003 coordinates:
E 1589776.554
N 4871716.119
Summary: QGIS and sardegnageoportale seem to give the same results, traspunto 
is different (0.50 meter difference). Which is the correct result? Where can I 
found the calculation for the conversion from a system to another?
Thanks
Francesco
