A SWEREF 99 map projection library
Project description
SWEREF 99 map projection
Python library for conversion between geodetic (latitude, longitude) coordinates and plane (N, E) grid coordinates. Implements a Transverse Mercator map projection (Gauss Conformal Projection) and projection parameters for the SWEREF 99 geodetic reference system. The ellipsoid is GRS80 but other ellipsoids can easily be defined.
Since the WGS 84 datum used by GPS is almost identical to SWEREF 99 they can be used interchangeably for most applications. More details on the relationship between WGS 84 and SWEREF 99 can be found here.
The map projection implementation is based on the Gauss-Krügers formula as published by Lantmäteriet.
Usage
from sweref99 import projections
if __name__ == '__main__':
tm = projections.make_transverse_mercator("SWEREF_99_TM")
lat, lon = 57.705918, 11.987286
# Geodetic to grid
northing, easting = tm.geodetic_to_grid(lat, lon)
print(f"{lat:.6f}° N {lon:.6f}°E : {northing:.2f} N {easting:.2f} E")
# Grid to geodetic
lat, lon = tm.grid_to_geodetic(northing, easting)
print(f"{northing:.2f} N {easting:.2f} E : {lat:.6f}° N {lon:.6f}°E")
