Greenland coordinate systems
14 EPSG coordinate systems used in Greenland. Pick one to open a converter already set to it, with its parameters and area of use.
The 14 EPSG coordinate systems for Greenland are based on GR96 and Qornoq 1927. The projection is UTM (Transverse Mercator) (14). Coordinates are in metres. UTM zones: 18N, 19N, 20N, 21N, 22N, 23N, 24N, 25N, 26N, 27N, 28N and 29N. Together they cover 56.4°N to 84.0°N, 75.0°W to 6.0°W.

Questions about Greenland coordinates
- Which coordinate system is used in Greenland?
- 14 EPSG systems are defined for Greenland, on datums such as GR96 and Qornoq 1927. Use the one named in your survey report or drawing; the EPSG code is the safest way to identify it.
- Which UTM zone is Greenland in?
- Greenland is covered by UTM zones 18N, 19N, 20N, 21N, 22N, 23N, 24N, 25N, 26N, 27N, 28N and 29N. Pick the zone by the longitude of your site: each zone is 6° wide.
- How do I convert Greenland coordinates to latitude and longitude or Google Earth?
- Open the system's page below and type an easting and northing into the converter, or paste a whole spreadsheet into the free web app and choose the system by name or EPSG code. Save the result as KML or KMZ and open it in Google Earth.
- Are Greenland coordinates in metres or feet?
- All 14 are in metres. Enter the numbers in the unit of the system you choose; each system's page shows its unit.
