shrug-l: Lat/Long(decimal degrees) to Meters withoutGeometryservice

[Tripp Corbin]

CorpsCon is a great program. I have used it for years to run coordinate
conversions. It is free from the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Have you tried using CORPSCON?

 

It is the generally accepted method for datum, projection & elevation
conversions, etc.  I've noticed that most surveyors use this program for
their conversions.

 

The FORTRAN code can be inserted into other programs if you are into
that, otherwise you can run your data in a batch mode, or one point at a
time.

Hello,

 

Does anyone have a javascript code that can convert decimal degrees
(wkid: 4326) points to meters (wkid: 3857)? I am not able to use the
geometry service for a number of reasons, so I believe the only way to
do this would be to convert the points mathematically. This is what I
have so far and it's kinda working (I'm off about 20-25 miles), but I'm
pretty sure there is some tweaking needed in the equations. If anyone
has any ideas or has already written some javascript code for this, I'd
be very grateful!

 

       function addPointToMap() {

            var xMin,yMin,xMax,yMax;

            var lon ,lat;

            var DEG_TO_RAD = 0.017453292519943296;                

            var PI = 3.14159267;

            var NUM = 6356752.3142;

            

            lon = -84.286616;

            lat = 30.437574;

      

            //Limit to World

            if(lat<=-90)lat=-90;

            if(lat>=90)lat=90;

            if(lon<=-180)lon=-180;

            if(lon>=180)lon=180;

            

var Y = Math.round(NUM * Math.log( Math.tan( ((lat * DEG_TO_RAD) +
(PI/2)) / 2 ) ));

            var X = Math.round(NUM * (lon * DEG_TO_RAD));

 

 

Thank you in advance!
