Common mistakes with Merchich (degrees) Nord Maroc
- Feet entered as metres. Merchich (degrees) Nord Maroc is in metres. Coordinates copied from a drawing in feet must be converted first, or every point moves outwards from the grid's origin.
- Forgetting the datum. Merchich (degrees) Nord Maroc is not on WGS 84: treated as WGS 84, no shift (the datums agree to about a metre or better). Picking a WGS 84 grid with the same projection instead leaves the points off by that amount.
- Points outside the grid's area. Merchich (degrees) Nord Maroc is meant for Morocco - north of 31.5~N. Points well outside that area convert with growing error; the converter flags them so you can choose the right grid.
- A local site grid. If every point is off by the same distance and direction, the drawing may be on a local site grid. Calibrate on three or more known control points instead.
