Hi all!

Does anyone know how to convert coordintates in epsg:26985 to regular lat lon coordinates? I believe the correct projection is WGS84.
( I’m a noob ).

I want to know how to do this by command line. ( bash)
Here is an example from the proj4 documentation ( which works on my box)

cs2cs +proj=latlong +datum=NAD83 +to +proj=utm +zone=10 +datum=NAD27 -r <<EOF
45d15’33.1" 111.5W
45d15.551666667N -111d30
+45.25919444444 111d30’000w
EOF

Now, how can I do this with epsg:26985 to latlon ?
These are the coords source coordinates:
401717.80, 130013.8

Thanks in advance!

Does this work on your computer?

cs2cs +init=epsg:26985 +to +init=epsg:4326
401717.80 130013.8
76d58’48.771"W 38d50’16.501"N 0.000

I did this on Windows computer with cs2cs that comes with FWTools 2.4.6 package. If your system does not find “epsg” projection file try these strings:

---- From Coordinate System ----

#Lambert Conformal Conic

Conic, Sph&Ell

lat_1= and lat_2= or lat_0

+proj=lcc +lat_1=39.45 +lat_2=38.3 +lat_0=37.66666666666666 +lon_0=-77 +x_0=400000 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80
+datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs +towgs84=0,0,0

---- To Coordinate System ----

#Lat/long (Geodetic alias)

+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs +towgs84=0,0,0
