Coordinate capture & conversion for iPhone

Your coordinates.
A new frame
of reference.

From a photo to the coordinates you need. Capture, convert and export with the power of PROJ, right on your iPhone.

Manual coordinate conversion is free. Built-in WGS 84 ↔ UTM includes capture, saving and export. Unlock PRO to convert captures and save results with your added transformations.

Less manual work

Capture, convert, and export coordinates.

Set up your transformation first, then bring in your coordinates. Choose where they come from and the system you need them in.

  1. 01 / SET UP

    Choose input and target.

    Create a transformation by choosing your input and target reference systems. Review the available PROJ operations and select the one for your project, define a custom Helmert transformation, or start with built-in WGS 84 ↔ UTM.

  2. 02 / CAPTURE & CONVERT

    Bring in your coordinates.

    Enter coordinates manually, scan with your camera, or import an image. Manual conversion and reading original coordinates are free. Built-in WGS 84 ↔ UTM also includes converted captures. PRO unlocks converted captures and coordinate-list review with your added transformations.

  3. 03 / EXPORT

    Keep your work moving.

    Copy or share manual conversion results as text. Capture, save and export with built-in WGS 84 ↔ UTM for free. PRO extends capture and saving to your added transformations, with CSV and TSV export for captured lists and saved results.

More than a format change

The right system.
The right context.

Convert latitude and longitude to UTM, work with a national grid, or select a transformation for your project. CoordCap puts reference systems and operations in the same workflow.

Familiar coordinate formats
Decimal degrees, degrees and decimal minutes, or degrees, minutes and seconds.
Transformation details that matter
Inspect operation information, area of use and required grids before you convert.
Custom Helmert transformations
Define 3-parameter or 7-parameter transformations with your own translations, rotations and scale. Choose the Position Vector or Coordinate Frame rotation convention to match your parameters.
Epoch and time-dependent transformations
Set coordinate epochs for supported systems and operations. Define time-dependent Helmert parameters with rates and a reference epoch. Transformations between epochs need a suitable operation or motion model and any required grids.
Ready beyond a connection
Recognition and conversion run on your device. Download any required grids before heading into the field.

What is CoordCap?

CoordCap is an iPhone coordinate capture and conversion app for fieldwork, GIS and surveying workflows. Convert manually entered coordinates between supported reference systems with PROJ, copy or share manual results as text, and read original coordinates from the camera or an imported image for free. The dedicated built-in WGS 84 ↔ UTM workflow also includes capture, review, saving and export. PRO extends converted captures, coordinate-list workflows and saving results to added transformations, including catalog operations and custom Helmert transformations.

Can I convert latitude and longitude to UTM?

Yes. CoordCap converts WGS 84 latitude and longitude to UTM and back. Choose the UTM zone and hemisphere, and work with decimal degrees (DD), degrees and decimal minutes (DMM), or degrees, minutes and seconds (DMS).

Which coordinate reference systems are supported?

Search the bundled PROJ database by EPSG code or reference-system name for geographic and projected systems, including national grids. Available operations depend on the source and target systems, area of use and required grid files. Review the selected operation before relying on the result.

Can I create custom Helmert transformations?

Yes. Define a custom 3-parameter or 7-parameter Helmert transformation, or a time-dependent Helmert transformation with parameter rates and a reference epoch. For rotations, choose the Position Vector or Coordinate Frame convention to match your parameters. Creating supported transformations and converting manually entered coordinates are free. You can copy or share manual results as text. Saving those results in the app, or using those transformations for converted camera and image captures, requires PRO.

Does CoordCap support epoch transformations?

Yes. Set coordinate epochs for supported reference systems and operations, or use a custom time-dependent Helmert transformation. A coordinate epoch describes when a position applies, expressed as a decimal year such as 2026.5. Transformations between epochs depend on a suitable operation or motion model and any required grids. Creating supported transformations and converting manually entered coordinates are free. You can copy or share manual results as text. Saving those results in the app, or using those transformations for converted camera and image captures, requires PRO.

Does CoordCap work offline?

Coordinate recognition and conversion run on your iPhone. Operations that need grid files work offline after those files have been downloaded. Download the grids you need before fieldwork. Grid downloads, map content and App Store purchases require an internet connection.

Are my photos and coordinates uploaded?

CoordCap processes images and coordinates on your device without uploading them to a developer server. You choose whether to export or share results. Apple map services, optional PROJ grid downloads and purchases make separate network requests. Your device backup settings may include locally stored app data.

What is included for free, and what does PRO add?

Manual conversions, copying and sharing manual results as text, and reading original coordinates are free. Built-in WGS 84 ↔ UTM also includes capture, review, saving and export. PRO unlocks converted captures, coordinate-list workflows and saving results with all your added transformations. PRO is a one-time purchase through Apple. Previously saved records remain accessible and exportable without PRO. Added transformations include operations selected from the reference-system catalog and custom Helmert transformations. The free WGS 84 ↔ UTM exception applies to the dedicated built-in workflow. No subscription. See the current price in the app.

Can I export coordinates to a spreadsheet or GIS workflow?

Yes. Copying or sharing manual conversion results as text is free. The dedicated built-in WGS 84 ↔ UTM workflow also includes capture, saving and CSV or TSV export for free. PRO extends converted captures, coordinate-list workflows and saving new results to added transformations, including manually entered results. Captured lists and saved results can be exported as CSV or TSV. Previously saved records remain available to view, rename, delete, share and export without PRO; exporting an existing saved record is not separately paywalled. Adjust the separator, coordinate format and output precision to suit your workflow. Check the coordinate order, reference system and units when importing the file into another tool.

How accurate are coordinate conversions?

Accuracy depends on the original coordinates, their reference system, the selected transformation, any required grids and the quality of image recognition or device location. Extra decimal places do not improve source accuracy. Review captured values and validate important results against a trusted reference.
