Coordinate systems in Jordan: quick reference
Jordan’s most common engineering projection is the Jordan TM grid on the European ED50 datum (EPSG:3066) — a Transverse Mercator covering the Kingdom, on which many project and infrastructure sheets are drawn. The ED50 datum itself (EPSG:4230) also appears geographically on older regional mapping.
Modern GNSS work observes on WGS84 and is usually delivered in UTM: Amman (35.9°E) sits very close to the zone 36/37 boundary at longitude 36°E — western Jordan falls in zone 36 and the east in 37, so confirm the zone before delivering. Note too that the published ED50 transform is approximate (the accuracy badge shows it); precise sheets need a local fit.
The tool below opens on an Amman sample point, lists Jordan’s systems first, and returns the result in every system covering your point.
| EPSG | System | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| 3066 | ED50 / Jordan TM(projected grid) | ±6 m |
| 4230 | ED50(geographic) | ±1.9 m |
The tool covers 4 systems relevant to Jordan (national systems plus the WGS84 UTM zones) — the table above lists only the key ones.
FAQ
- Which coordinate system does Jordan use?
- Project sheets are often on the Jordan TM grid on the ED50 datum (EPSG:3066), while modern GNSS work observes on WGS84 and is delivered in UTM zone 36 or 37.
- What is the Jordan TM grid?
- A national Transverse Mercator projection on the European ED50 datum (EPSG:3066) covering the Kingdom with a single kilometric grid instead of two UTM zones — common on road and infrastructure sheets.
- Which UTM zone is Amman in?
- Amman (35.9°E) sits in UTM zone 36N but only a few kilometres from the zone 37 boundary at longitude 36°E — projects east of Amman may fall in zone 37, so confirm before delivering.
- How accurate is the ED50 to WGS84 conversion in Jordan?
- The published EPSG shift for ED50 is regional and approximate — a few metres in Jordan (the tool shows the accuracy badge). Centimetre-grade work needs geodetic observation and a local fit through common points.
