Common mistakes with LKS94 / Lithuania TM
- Easting and northing swapped. In LKS94 / Lithuania TM the middle of the grid is near easting 431,194.04 and northing 6,115,464.68. If your easting column holds numbers like 6,115,464.68, the columns are the wrong way round and every point lands far away: swap them before converting.
- Feet entered as metres. LKS94 / Lithuania TM 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. LKS94 / Lithuania TM 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. LKS94 / Lithuania TM is meant for Lithuania - 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.
