Projection and Transformation Calculations
35 12-December-2007
This spreadsheet which will carry out common calculations with coordinates. All of the concepts and formulae given in "A gui the user manual for these calculations, are detailed in this spreadsheet. "A guide to coordinate systems in Great Britain" is (www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/gps). The guide gives some important warnings about the use of its formulae, which you should be a such as scale factors, convergence and t-T in this spreadsheet that are not in the guide. The Constants sheet is where ellipsoid, projection and Helmert transformation parameters are entered. The Enter coordinates here sheet is for user input of coordinates to the calculations. Use the buttons at the bottom left of the screen to scroll through the other sheets. Each sheet carries out a different calculation. The calculations are shown in "step by step" format where all the intermedia results in single cells computed by user defined functions written in Visual Basic. The code for the user defined functions
The calculation sheets are as follows:Lat & Long Format Conversions converts between DMS format, decimal degrees and degrees & decimal minutes. Helmert Transformation transforms the user entered cartesian coordinates to cartesian coordinates on a new datum using the transformation pa XYZ to lat,long,H converts the user entered cartesian coordinates to geodetic coordinates in DMS format using the ellipsoidal parameters from lat,long to E,N projects the user entered geodetic coordinates to easting and northings using a Transverse Mercator projection and the ellips Constants. E,N to lat,long is the reverse of lat,long to E,N. lat,long,H to XYZ is the reverse of XYZ to lat,long,H. UD Funcs Transformation Example shows how a complete Helmert transformation from WGS84 geodetic coordinates to OSGB36 Eastings a carried out using the user defined functions. convergence from lat & long computes the convergence at the geodetic coordinate entered by the user. convergence from E,N computes the convergence at the easting, northing entered by the user. local scale factor from lat,lon computes the local scale factor at the geodetic coordinate entered by the user. local & line sf from E,N computes the local scale factor at the easting, northing entered by the user and also the line scale factor between eastin t-T correction from E,N computes the t-T (difference between true and projected directions) between easting, northing and easting2, northing2 true azimuth from E,N computes the true direction (after allowing for t-T and convergence) between easting, northing and easting2, northing2 Cells for user data entry are coloured Cells giving calculation results are coloured Cells which repeat the user inputted data are coloured

Projection Notes 1. The constants above are correct for working with the Ordnance Survey National Grid. If you want to work with OS National Grid, do not change anything in the above box. 2. It is also possible to use this spreadsheet to work with Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grids. The constants that must be entered in the yellow boxes if you want to work with UTM are given in Annex A of 'A Guide to coordinate systems in Great Britain', available from the OS GPS website www.gps.gov.uk.

reverse signs to go from OSGB36 to ETRS Transformation Notes 1. It is very important to understand the limitations of simple datum transformations. This method does not take account of the local distortions present in coordinate reference frames (TRFs) This is especially important when one or both of the coordinate systems involved is based on a traditional triangulation network For instance, transforming between WGS84 GPS coordinates and OSGB36 National Grid will incur transformation errors of up to five metres, depending on location. Also, this method cannot convert ellipsoid heights to heights above mean sea level. For full details on the limitations of the method coded here, see the OS publication 'A guide to coordinate systems in Great Britain', available free from our GPS Website (www.gps.gov.uk) or OS customer helpline. 2. The constants in the table above are suitable for transforming from WGS84 GPS coordinates to OSGB36 National Grid.
By changing the constants above, this spreadsheet may be used to convert between any two geodetic datums Some ellipsoid constants are given in 'A guide to coordinate systems in Great Britain' Ordnance Survey cannot supply suitable transformation parameters for the geodetic systems of other countries -

Notes 1. Type your input data in the yellow boxes only on this page. Enter either Latitude, Longitude and optional Ellipsoidal height, Easting and Northing or Earth centred Cartesian coordinates. To convert from decimal latitude and longitude or degrees lat / long and decimal minutes to the degrees, minutes and seconds forma see the "Lat & Long Format Conversions " sheet. Ellipsoidal height is only required for the Cartesian XYZ coordiante conversions. The Earth centred Cartesian coordinates are used as input to the Helmert datum transformation calculations. Look at the following sheets to see the results of the calculations. 2. Check that the appropriate parameters are set on the "Constants" sheet. 3. For two of the calculations (t-T correction and true azimuth), the eastings and northings of two points are required. For these calculations only, you must enter Eastings 2 and Northings 2 in addition to Easting and Northing 4. For background information on the calculations contained in this spreadsheet, download 'A Guide to Coordinate Systems in Great Britain' from our GPS website www.gps.gov.uk, or see any textbook on map projections or surveying computations.

A WGS84 lat, long and height (e.g. from a handheld GPS receiver) is converted and transformed in stages to an OSGB36 easting, northing and a The reverse transformation from OSGB36 to WGS84 is then performed. The results of each stage are all produced by user defined functions in single cells (i.e. there are no intermediate steps done in other cells). The outputs of the previous stage are passed as inputs to the next stage. Other parameters used are on the right of each stage.

Notes Local scale factor is the scale distortion inherent in the map projection at a point For a long line the scale factor at the mid point should be calculated. For lines up to 30km in length this will give a result with If still greater accuracy is required compute a line scale factor using Simpson's Rule as shown below. The line scale factor between Point 1 (East1, North1) and Point 2 (East2, North2) is the projected distance between the points divided by the true (geodesic) distance. Line scale factor = (1/6)(F1 + 4Fm + F2) Where F1 = scale factor at Point 1; F2 = scale factor at Point 2 and Fm = scale factor at mid point between Point 1 and Point e.g.: 1.00037732 = Scale factor at Point 1 (East1,North1) 1.00022969 = Scale factor at Point 2 (East2,North2) 1.00030156 = Scale factor at mid point of Point 1 (East1,North1) and Point 2 (East2,North2) 1.00030221 = Line scale factor for line between Point 1 (East1,North1) and Point 2 (East2,North2)

Notes The true azimuth from one point (easting, northing) to a second point (easting 2, northing 2) is computed by applying the convergence and t-T corrections to the grid bearing.
