KKJ is not defined outside Finland!
This tool can be used to link WGS84 coordinates to map services that accept Finnish KKJ national grid coordinate system based coordinates only.
It converts the coordinates, subtracts the reference point, and redirects to the requested service with the results.
Formula used to localise coordinates:
PKKJ = PKKJ reference point + PKKJ local
IKKJ = IKKJ reference point + IKKJ local
Usage example:
kkj?latdegdec=60.168333&londegdec=24.95625&Pref=6600000&Iref=2500000&link=http://kartta.hel.fi/opas/main/?l=1&m=1&o=1&n={Plocal}&e={Ilocal}
Where:
latdegdec | WGS84 latitude in decimal degrees |
londegdec | WGS84 longitude in decimal degrees |
Pref | PKKJ reference point used in the map service |
Iref | IKKJ reference point used in the map service |
link | HTTP link to the map service, where {Plocal} and {Ilocal} will be replaced with PKKJ local and IKKJ local respectively, and {PlocalS}, {PlocalN}, {IlocalW} and {IlocalE} with the viewpoint boundaries. |
The WGS84 to KKJ code was written by Matti Aarnio and is available from http://www.viestikallio.fi/tools/kkj-wgs84.php.
