Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Midway 1961 to WGS 84 coordinates?
Use the coordinate transformation tool above to convert Midway 1961 (EPSG:4727) to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Enter your source coordinates and click Transform. This uses the Geocentric translations (geog2D domain) method with 44m accuracy.
How do I transform Midway 1961 to WGS 84 using Proj4js?
Use proj4.defs to define both EPSG:4727 and EPSG:4326, then call proj4(source, target, [x, y]) to convert coordinates programmatically.
What is the accuracy of the Midway 1961 to WGS 84 transformation?
This transformation (EPSG:15817) has an accuracy of 44m using the Geocentric translations (geog2D domain) method. Area of use: Midway Islands - Sand and Eastern Islands.
