Geodetic coordinates are a type of curvilinear orthogonal coordinate system used in geodesy based on a reference ellipsoid. They include geodetic latitude (north/south) ϕ , longitude (east/west) λ , and ellipsoidal height h (also known as geodetic height [1] ).
TWCC, "The World Coordinate Converter", is an Open Source tool to convert geodetic coordinates in a wide range of reference systems. This tool is intuitive and easy to use. The possibility to add user-defined systems and the use of an interactive map make it flexible.
This conversion converts geodetic coordinate values (longitude, latitude, elevation above ellipsoid) to their geocentric (X, Y, Z) representation. This tool supports batch conversion, and the conversion results can be downloaded locally.
Just to make the definition complete, in the Cartesian coordinate system: the x-axis goes through long,lat (0,0), so longitude 0 meets the equator; the y-axis goes through (0,90); and the z-axis goes through the poles. The conversion is: x = R * cos(lat) * cos(lon) y = R * cos(lat) * sin(lon) z = R *sin(lat)

Handles many coordinates systems from across the globe.
The usual procedure is to iterate beginning with the assumption that there is no difference between geodetic and geocentric latitude. First compute the longitude, which can be precisely done. a tan 2 (y,x) a tan( y /x) = λ =. The second form is the usual computer call for a 4 -quadrant arctangent.
A coordinate system conversion is a conversion from one coordinate system to another, with both coordinate systems based on the same geodetic datum. Common conversion tasks include conversion between geodetic and earth-centered, earth-fixed ( ECEF) coordinates and conversion from one type of map projection to another.
