Good to know
- Pick the UTM zone by longitude. Points outside the zone's area of use are flagged after conversion.
- Datum: Published 3-parameter shift (typically a few metres).
Convert a whole spreadsheet
- Open the web app or the Windows app, and paste your rows from Excel or open a CSV file.
- Under Coordinate system, search for “23036” and pick ED50 / UTM zone 36N.
- Check one point you know on the map, then press Save KML or Save KMZ and open it in Google Earth.
Common mistakes with ED50 / UTM zone 36N
- Feet entered as metres. ED50 / UTM zone 36N 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. ED50 / UTM zone 36N is not on WGS 84: published 3-parameter shift (typically a few metres). Picking a WGS 84 grid with the same projection instead leaves the points off by that amount.
- Points outside the grid's area. ED50 / UTM zone 36N is meant for Europe - between 30°E and 36°E - Israel - offshore; Jordan; Norway including Svalbard - onshore and offshore; Türkiye (Turkey) - onshore and offshore. 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.
