Geodetic Coordinate System

Used in the PHP Sample Code

The following well-known text represents a coordinate system based on longitude and latitude whose name is "Longitude / Latitude (NAD 83)". The horizontal datum used to measure positions on the surface of the earth is named "NAD 83". The earth's surface is modeled as a squashed sphere. The name of the model is "GRS 80". The "GRS 80" model has a semi-major axis value of 6378137 and an inverse flattening value of 298.257222101. The longitudinal measurement is taken from the Greenwich prime meridian. The Greenwich prime meridian is at an angle of 0.000000 degrees relative to the reference (Greenwich) prime meridian. The unit of measurement is an angular type whose name is "Decimal Degree", which can be converted to radians by applying the scalar factor of 0.01745329251994330.

Projected Coordinate System

Used in the PHP Sample Code

The following well-known text represents a projected coordinate system whose name is "UTM Zone 18 (NAD 83)". It uses a parameterized transform called "Transverse Mercator" to transform geographic coordinates into the projected coordinates. The source coordinates are expressed in terms of a geographic coordinate system whose name is "NAD 83 (Continental US)." based on longitude and latitude whose name is "Longitude / Latitude (NAD 83)". The "Transverse Mercator" transform takes three parameters. The name of the first parameter is "Scale_Factor", and its value is 0.999600. The name of the second parameter is "Central_Meridian", and its value is -117.000000. The name of the third parameter is "False_Easting", and its value is 500000.000000. The unit of measurement is a linear type whose name is "Meter", which can be converted to meters by applying the scalar factor of 1.000000000000.

Arbitrary Coordinate System

The following well-known text represents a local, ungeoreferenced coordinate system whose name is "Non-Earth (Mile)." The horizontal datum used to measure positions in the coordinate system is named "Local Datum". The type of the horizontal datum is 0. The unit of measurement is a linear type whose name is "Mile", which can be converted to meters by applying the scalar factor of 1.609344e+03. The system has two AXIS values indicating that it is two-dimensional. The directional value associated with the "X" AXIS signifies that "X" increases positively in value moving east from the origin. The directional value associated with the "Y" AXIS signifies that "Y" increases positively in value moving north from the origin.
