Coordinate conversion (LKS-94 to WGS-84) PDF Print E-mail
Written by Andrius Balsevičius   
This spreadsheet transforms coordinates from Lithuania LKS-94 to WGS-84 coordinate system. It's useful, if you have car or cell phone navigation system, which don't have built-in function of  user-defined coordinate system (and most of them doesn't).

You can easily customize this tool for converting coordinates from any Transverse Mercator projection based coordinate system, replacing Lithuania LKS-94 coordinate system parameters with your own.

This workbook is reduced version from the original spreadsheet,

found on http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/gps/osnetfreeservices/furtherinfo/spreadsheet.html.

This spreadsheet includes a full set of Transverse Mercator projection functions, which allows you to:

  • Convert latitude and longitude to grid eastings and northings for any Transverse Mercator map projection, including the Ordnance Survey National Grid.
  • Convert grid eastings and northings to latitude and longitude for any Transverse Mercator map projection, including the Ordnance Survey National Grid.
  • Compute local scale factor at any point on the grid, and compute grid convergence, t-T and true azimuth between any pair of points on the grid.
  • Convert latitude and longitude coordinates to cartesian XYZ coordinates and vice versa.
  • Convert latitude and longitude coordinates in any coordinate system to any other coordinate system. For instance, GPS coordinates may be converted to Ordnance Survey National Grid coordinates with an accuracy of about 5 metres, anywhere in Great Britain. Please read the guide mentioned above to learn about the limitations of this type of datum transformation. For GPS to National Grid conversion requiring better than 5 metre accuracy, you should not use this simple transformation - use OSTN02 and OSGM02.
  • Reformat latitude and longitude coordinates between: Degrees, Minutes & Seconds; decimal Degrees; and Degrees & Decimal Minute formats.
