4FAQ
- What is an EPSG code?
- An EPSG code is a global numeric identifier for a coordinate system — it pins down the projection, datum, and units exactly, so there is no ambiguity about which system you are using. For example, 4326 is geographic WGS 84.
- Why do coordinates differ between systems for the same place?
- Because each system is built on a different datum and projection; converting between them needs the datum-shift parameters (towgs84). We show each system’s accuracy versus PROJ on its page.
- How do I use this reference?
- Pick your country, then a system to see its parameters, proj4, WKT, and area of use, and click “Convert from this system” to open the converter preloaded.
