Which coordinate formats can I use in tender+?

A point on a map is always described using a pair of coordinates, the latitude and the longitude.

In tender+, addresses can be imported and geocoded based on your coordinates.

To do this, define the relevant format with an ID number in the Coordinate System column and enter the longitude in the Longitude column and the latitude in the Latitude column.

 

The following coordinate formats can be imported:

 

 

• WGS 84 decimal (ID 0)

  Reference system is WGS 84 (World Geodetic System).

  The coordinates are specified in decimal degrees,

  Example

  Haid-und-Neu-Straße 15, 76131 Karlsruhe

  Latitude 49.01334° (N)     Longitude 8.4278° (E)     

   

  Information in the import file

  Longitude	Latitude	Coordinate System
  8.4278	49.01334	0

   

   

• PTV geodecimal (ID 1)

  Equals the WGS 84 decimal * 100,000

   

  Example

  Haid-und-Neu-Straße 15, 76131 Karlsruhe

  Latitude 49.01334° (N)      Longitude 8.4278° (E)     

   

  Information in the import file

  Longitude	Latitude	Coordinate System
  842780	4901334	1

   

• PTV Mercator (ID 3)

  Reference system is a Mercator projection.

  The Mercator format is an internal coordinate format which you can use to replace geographical data in PTV products.

  If, for example, you export a database, you receive the coordinates in the Mercator format. You can import data records exported in this way into other PTV products and geocode them on the basis of the coordinates.

   

  Example

  Haid-und-Neu-Straße 15, 76131 Karlsruhe

   

  Longitude	Latitude	Coordinate System
  937139	6270074	3
