Geographic Coordinate System • A reference system using latitude and longitude to define the location of points on the surface of a sphere or spheroid – decimal degrees (DD) -92. 5 – degrees/minutes/seconds (DMS) 92° 30’ 00” W

Geographic Coordinate System - Earth is not a sphere - Poles are flattened - Bulges at equator Earth is a spheroid……or ellipsoid

Geographic Coordinate System • Spheroid approximates the shape of the earth – Model of the earth – Essentially when surveyors get together and all agree to be wrong – Also called an “ellipsoid”
![Geographic Coordinate System A datum defines the position of the spheroid relative to Geographic Coordinate System • A datum defines the position of the spheroid relative to](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h2/bca7bc6b734b84a6da30b3743728380c/image-8.jpg)
Geographic Coordinate System • A datum defines the position of the spheroid relative to the center of the earth – Origin and orientation of latitude and longitude lines are determined by the datum – Hundreds of datums customized for different parts of the world
![Common Datums used in U S North American Datum 1927 NAD 27 Common Datums used in U. S. • North American Datum 1927 (NAD 27) –](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h2/bca7bc6b734b84a6da30b3743728380c/image-9.jpg)
Common Datums used in U. S. • North American Datum 1927 (NAD 27) – Uses the Clarke 1866 spheroid – Reference point is located at Meades Ranch, Kansas – Based on ground survey inrmation in the 1800’s • North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83) – Uses GRS 80 (Geodetic Reference System) spheroid – Ellipsoid model from geocentric perspective – Based on ground surveys and satellite information • WGS 1984 – – Most recently developed datum/ framework for measurements worldwide Earth centered, or geocentric, perspective This is the datum used by all GPS satellites Nearly identical to NAD 83…therefore NAD 83 is compatible with data collected in GPS using WGS 84!

Transforming between datums • Several methods available for transforming between NAD 27 and NAD 83 • Standard and most accurate is NADCON – Available in Arc. Map (Arc. Toolbox) • Many GPS devices transform using less accurate transformations • If your GIS data is in NAD 27, you should considering collecting in NAD 83/WGS 84 and transform your coordinates using Arc. Toolbox or On the Fly with Arc. Map 10 – On the fly projections and/or perform datum transformation using Arc. Toolbox. Define and project data set
![Geographic Coordinate System Universal Coordinate System latlon Latlon good for locating positions Geographic Coordinate System • Universal Coordinate System (lat/lon) • Lat/lon good for locating positions](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h2/bca7bc6b734b84a6da30b3743728380c/image-11.jpg)
Geographic Coordinate System • Universal Coordinate System (lat/lon) • Lat/lon good for locating positions on surface of a globe • Lat/lon is not efficient for measuring distances and areas! – Latitude and longitude are not uniform units of measure – One degree of longitude at equator = 111. 321 km (Clarke 1866 spheroid) – One degree of longitude at 60° latitude = 55. 802 km (Clarke 1866 spheroid)

Projected Coordinate Systems • A map projection is the systematic transformation of locations on the earth (latitude/longitude) to planar coordinates • The basis for this transformation is the geographic coordinate system (which references a datum) • Map projections are designed for specific purposes

This process of flattening the earth will cause distortions in one or more of the following spatial properties: • Shape – Conformal map projections preserve shape • Area – Equal area map projections preserve area • Distance/Scale – Equidistant map projections preserve distance • Direction/Angle – Azimuthal map projections preserve true direction

Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) • • Developed by military Grid system Earth divided into 60 zones Great for small areas – minimal map distortion – distortion greater at edge of zones • Most common map projection used by NWRs, NGOs, National Agencies

When GPS points don’t align with GIS Data Most likely a projection issue if: • There are huge errors…data points do not overlay • Features could be displayed in wrong state or hemisphere!

When GPS points don’t align with GIS Data Possibly a datum issue if: • GPS data overlays with GIS data, but off by several hundred feet • Differences between NAD 27 and NAD 83 can be as much as 500 feet • This creates problems when doing analysis
