EarthPoint Convert converts geographic coordinates between different coordinate systems and formats, helping make location information easier to analyse, visualise, and compare across different sources. It’s designed to help users translate location data into formats compatible with mapping platforms such as Google Earth, GIS software, and other geospatial tools. **The lowdown:** It’s particularly useful when a source provides location information in an unfamiliar format or when coordinates need to be prepared for mapping. ### How to Use: **1. Simply enter or paste geographic coordinate data into the EarthPoint Convert interface.** **2. Select the required conversion option or output format, then export or copy the converted coordinates into mapping or analysis tools.** ### Cost * [x] Free * [ ] Partially Free * [ ] Paid ## Data Processing ### Account Required: * [ ] Yes * [x] No ### Cookies: The site uses a small number of functional, security, and analytics cookies.

| Requires users to understand coordinate systems and geographic references. | ### Summary EarthPoint Convert is a simple but useful geospatial support tool that best fits during the data preparation and analysis stages of the OSINT workflow where investigators need to clean, standardise, or convert geographic information before mapping or reporting. ### Ownership Owned and operated by its founder, [Bill Clark](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-clark-464aa13/), with HQ in Idaho, US. ### Ethical Considerations * Ensure location data is collected and used lawfully. * Avoid processing sensitive personal location information without appropriate authority. * Maintain records of original data sources and conversion methods. * Do not assume converted coordinates are accurate without verification. * Consider operational security when handling location-based intelligence. ### Related Tools: * Google Earth Pro * GeoHack * GPS Visualizer #### Sources
