Common mistakes with NAD83(HARN) / Maine CS2000 East
- Easting and northing swapped. In NAD83(HARN) / Maine CS2000 East the middle of the grid is near easting 710,110.77 and northing 215,777.34. If your easting column holds numbers like 215,777.34, the columns are the wrong way round and every point lands far away: swap them before converting.
- Feet entered as metres. NAD83(HARN) / Maine CS2000 East 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. NAD83(HARN) / Maine CS2000 East 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. NAD83(HARN) / Maine CS2000 East is meant for United States (USA) - Maine east of approximately 68°25'W. The area is bounded by the following: Beginning at the point determined by the intersection of the Maine State line and the Fort Kent - Frenchville town line, thence continuing easterly and then southerly along the state line to the boundary of the State of Maine as determined by Maritime law, thence following the State boundary westerly to the intersection of the Knox and Hancock County line, thence northerly along the easterly boundary of the Maine 2000 Central Zone, as defined, to the point of beginning. 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.
