Common mistakes with WGS 1984 California (Teale) Albers (USFt)

  • Metres entered as feet. WGS 1984 California (Teale) Albers (USFt) is in US survey feet. Enter the values as they are; converting them to metres first puts every point in the wrong place.
  • Looking for a datum shift that isn't there. WGS 1984 California (Teale) Albers (USFt) is defined on WGS 84, the datum Google Earth uses, so no shift is applied. If points are off by tens or hundreds of metres, the data is probably on another grid.
  • Points outside the grid's area. WGS 1984 California (Teale) Albers (USFt) is meant for USA - California. Points well outside that area convert with growing error; the converter flags them so you can choose the right grid.
