Noobie: convert rd coordinates too gps WGS84 coordinates


Forum|alt.badge.img

Hallo everybody,

 

This will be my first model. I have seen the power of FME and i want too learn it.

My first problem that i want to solve in FME is;

 

i have a excel file contains x,y rijksdriehoek coordinates i want to convert it too gps location.

Can somebody help me with a model or tell me what handler i can use to get the desire results.

The output should be a column with gps coordinates in excel.

 

Thank you for your time and help

Greets,

Charaf from the Netherlands

The transformer you want to look at is: AttributeReprojector.

Both RD and WGS84 Lat Long are available in the list.

Thank you, it did exactly what the handler said. the result is 2 columns where the x, y coordinate are replaced.

my model exist out of a reader-AttributeReprojetor-writer.

To get the desired output i like to add the converted columns in the original file so that the relations between the other columns still exist.

 

Any suggestion @erik_jan?

Use a Reader.

Then an AttributeCreator to create attributes Lat and Long as copies of X and Y.

Use the AttributeReprojector on the new attributes Lat and Long to convert those values and keep the X and Y unchanged.

The write all existing, plus the Lat and Long out using the writer.

Thank you @erik_jan. i got the desired results.

 

The only thing that i still trying too solve is that the writer inspector not visualizing the coordinates.

"There is no geometry in this View." maybe you got the answer also for this problem. i know its a different topic. i use the trial for arcgis.

 

Thank you for helping me make my first model ever.

I hope i don't get the FME fever. lol

The coordinates only exist as attributes, if you want to see points you will need a VertexCreator to create points from your reprojected coordinates
