Common mistakes with Pulkovo 1942 / Gauss-Kruger CM 135E
- Easting and northing swapped. In Pulkovo 1942 / Gauss-Kruger CM 135E the middle of the grid is near easting 499,923.03 and northing 6,586,173.84. If your easting column holds numbers like 6,586,173.84, the columns are the wrong way round and every point lands far away: swap them before converting.
- Feet entered as metres. Pulkovo 1942 / Gauss-Kruger CM 135E 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. Pulkovo 1942 / Gauss-Kruger CM 135E is not on WGS 84: published 7-parameter shift (typically 1–2 m). Picking a WGS 84 grid with the same projection instead leaves the points off by that amount.
- Points outside the grid's area. Pulkovo 1942 / Gauss-Kruger CM 135E is meant for Russian Federation - onshore between 132°E and 138°E. 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.
