WGS84 to ETRS89 Converter
About WGS84 Coordinate System
WGS84 (World Geodetic System 1984) is the global standard geodetic reference system used by GPS. It defines an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system and geodetic datum.
Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1984, WGS84 has undergone several refinements (WGS84(G730), WGS84(G873), WGS84(G1150), WGS84(G1762)) to improve accuracy through GPS satellite observations.
WGS84 is the default coordinate system for GPS receivers worldwide. It is used in aviation, maritime navigation, Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, GIS applications, and scientific research.
WGS84 is the native coordinate system of the Global Positioning System (GPS), ensuring direct compatibility with all GPS receivers and satellite navigation systems worldwide.
As the most widely adopted geodetic datum, WGS84 provides a consistent global reference frame for mapping, surveying, and geospatial data exchange across international boundaries.
With continuous refinements, WGS84 achieves centimeter-level accuracy globally, making it suitable for high-precision applications like surveying, drone navigation, and scientific research.
About ETRS89 Coordinate System
ETRS89 is the EU-recommended geodetic reference system for Europe, fixed to the stable part of the Eurasian Plate.
ETRS89 was established in 1990 by the EUREF subcommission.
ETRS89 is the standard reference system for pan-European GIS data, EuroGeographics, INSPIRE directive, and cross-border infrastructure projects across Europe.
ETRS89 is fixed to the Eurasian tectonic plate, meaning coordinates of European landmarks remain stable over time.
ETRS89 is recommended by the European Commission for all geographic data under the INSPIRE directive.
For most practical applications, ETRS89 and WGS84 coordinates differ by less than 1 meter within Europe.
WGS84 → ETRS89 Conversion Guide
// WGS84 → ETRS89 (effectively identical)
// Both systems use essentially the same reference ellipsoid
// No transformation is needed for most practical applications
// At sub-meter accuracy level:
// ETRS89 uses the same GRS80 ellipsoid as WGS84
// Difference typically < 1 meter
{{from}} and {{to}} are essentially identical for most practical applications. Both use the GRS80 ellipsoid (a=6378137m) with a negligible flattening difference. The coordinate difference is typically less than 1 meter.
