So it seems that most of the hits on my site are from people looking for coordinate conversion info.
Besides the links for online conversion that I listed a few posts ago… there is a great desktop program for coordinate conversion. It is called Corpscon.
The link is here: http://crunch.tec.army.mil/software/corpscon/corpscon.html
This is by far the most accessible and easiest to use coordinate conversion program and I used it all though my Geodesy/GIS/Remote Sensing/Photogrammetry studies way back when. This program
“…allows the user to convert coordinates between Geographic, State Plane, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and US National Grid systems on the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27), the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and High Accuracy Reference Networks (HARNs). Corpscon uses the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) program Nadcon to convert between NAD 27, NAD 83 and HARNs.”
It totally kicks ass and I have used it many a time to check where coordinates should be in a particular coordinate system.
