Coordinate Formatting


CoordinateSharp has the ability to parse multiple coordinate types. With that said we are always looking to improve upon this tool so parses will be temporarily logged. Logs are anonymous and the only information saved is the date of the parse and the coordinate entered. You may also create an issue on our GitHub Page and we will try to add the requested format to the parser.

Coordinate Format Tips

Parsable Format Examples:

The below list is not all encompassing, but should give an idea as to what is parsable. Always try your desired format first. The most common reason for parse failure is lack of consistency between lat and long coordinate parts.

Signed Degrees

Decimal Degrees

Degree Decimal Minute

Degree Minute Second

Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)

Military Grid Reference System (MGRS)

Cartesian (Spherical)

At this time, coordinate must be in X, Y, Z order regardless of if X, Y, Z is labeled.

ECEF (X, Y, Z)

At this time, coordinate must be in X, Y, Z order regardless of if X, Y, Z is labeled.

Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)

Easting value must be first. Geodetic lat/long string takes priority if coordinate string format is also parsable as a geodetic lat/long coordinate.
