Common mistakes with Palestine 1923 / Palestine Belt
- Feet entered as metres. Palestine 1923 / Palestine Belt 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. Palestine 1923 / Palestine Belt 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. Palestine 1923 / Palestine Belt is meant for Israel - onshore; Jordan; Palestine Territory - onshore. 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.
