CGCS2000 to BJ54 Converter
About CGCS2000 Coordinate System
CGCS2000 (China Geodetic Coordinate System 2000) is China's official national geodetic coordinate system, replacing Beijing 1954 and Xian 1980 systems. It is aligned with ITRF97.
CGCS2000 was officially adopted by the State Council of China in 2008 as the national standard.
CGCS2000 is mandatory for all official surveying, mapping, and GIS projects in China. It is used by government agencies, land management, urban planning, and infrastructure development.
CGCS2000 is aligned with the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 1997 (ITRF97) at epoch 2000.0.
CGCS2000 and WGS84 are essentially identical for most practical applications, with differences typically less than 1 meter.
CGCS2000 is supported by a nationwide network of continuously operating reference stations (CORS) across China.
About BJ54 Coordinate System
BJ54 (Beijing 1954 Coordinate System) was China's first national geodetic coordinate system.
BJ54 was established in 1954 based on the Soviet Pulkovo 1942 datum.
BJ54 was used for topographic mapping and infrastructure development in China from the 1950s through the 1990s.
BJ54 uses the Krasovsky 1940 ellipsoid, which differs from WGS84 by approximately 100-200 meters.
While largely superseded by CGCS2000, BJ54 coordinates exist in vast archives of historical maps.
CGCS2000 → BJ54 Conversion Guide
// CGCS2000 → BJ54 (via WGS84 intermediate)
// Most non-WGS84 conversions use a two-step process:
// Step 1: CGCS2000 → WGS84 (using reverse transformation)
// Step 2: WGS84 → BJ54 (using forward transformation)
// This ensures maximum accuracy by routing through
// the well-defined global WGS84 reference system
// rather than attempting a direct transformation{{from}} to {{to}} is performed via a two-step transformation through WGS84 as an intermediate reference system, ensuring maximum accuracy.
