Which coordinate system does Google Earth use?
Mercator projection
Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth use a Mercator projection based on the World Geodetic System (WGS) 1984 geographic coordinate system (datum). This Mercator projection supports spheres only, unlike the ESRI Mercator implementation, which supports spheres and ellipsoids.
What is KML file in Google Earth?
KML is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth. You can create KML files to pinpoint locations, add image overlays, and expose rich data in new ways. KML is an international standard maintained by the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC).
How to convert a pixel to a lat / long coordinate?
The main GMap2 class provides transformation to/from a pixel on the displayed map and a lat/long coordinate:
How to convert Lat to meter in JavaScript?
The spherical Mercator projection defines a coordinate pair in meters, for the surface of the earth. This means, for every lat/long coordinate there is a matching meter/meter coordinate. This enables you to do the conversion using the following procedure:
How to convert MGA coordinates for Google Earth?
Projection: Transverse Mercator Zone Width: 6 degrees Longitude of Origin: Central Meridian of each zone Latitude of Origin: Equator (zero degrees) False Easting: 500 000 False Northing: 10 000 000 Central Scale Factor: 0.9996 Units: Metre Ellipsoid: GRS80 More Information: Go to [ICSM] [3] website.
How to convert WGS84 lat / long to spherical Mercator?
This means, for every lat/long coordinate there is a matching meter/meter coordinate. This enables you to do the conversion using the following procedure: Find the WGS84 lat/long of the corners of the image. Convert the WGS lat/longs to the spherical Mercator projection.
