Coordinate systems in Libya: quick reference
Mapping and survey work in Libya rests on two generations of reference frames: the legacy Libyan Datum 1979 — abbreviated LD79 (EPSG:4754) — with local belts such as Libya zone 9 (EPSG:2070), alongside the ELD79 frame (European Libyan Datum 1979) carried on UTM zones, including ELD79 / UTM zone 33N (EPSG:2078) that underpins many petroleum sheets.
The modern generation is LGD2006 — the Libyan Geodetic Datum 2006 — tied to the global frames and usually delivered in two projections: LGD2006 / Libya TM (EPSG:3177), which covers the whole country on a single grid, and LGD2006 / UTM zone 33N (EPSG:3201) for work inside zone 33. Libya spans four UTM zones from 32 to 35, and Tripoli, near longitude 13 degrees east, falls in zone 33.
The converter below opens on a Tripoli sample point and lists the Libyan systems first. Enter your coordinates to read the value in every system that actually covers the point, with an explicit accuracy badge that separates the legacy frames from the modern ones.
| EPSG | System | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| 4754 | Libyan Datum 1979 (LD79)(geographic) | ±51 m |
| 2070 | LD79 / Libya zone 9(projected grid) | ±0.1 m |
| 2078 | ELD79 / UTM zone 33N(projected grid) | ±0.1 m |
| 3177 | LGD2006 / Libya TM(projected grid) | ±0.1 m |
| 3201 | LGD2006 / UTM zone 33N(projected grid) | ±0.1 m |
The tool covers 32 systems relevant to Libya (national systems plus the WGS84 UTM zones) — the table above lists only the key ones.
