Solve one mystery and another appears! This isn't really a QGIS issue, but
I'm wondering if there's someone out there who'd be willing to give me a
hand anyway.
I'm processing a series of data sheets of bird observations from volunteer
observers throughout Italy. We specify decimal degrees, WGS84 (UTM 33 o
32N), but as you can imagine, the coordinates come in all shapes and sizes
and trying to standardise them is a real challenge.
I'm having a particular problem trying to understand (and therefore
subsequently convert), the following group of coordinates:
N 3915.452 E 1655.732
N 3913.887 E 1655.653
N 3905.717 E 1703.311
N 3902.444 E 1701.229
N 3902.936 E 1701.405
N 3904.791 E 1654.796
N 3904.668 E 1652.784**
N 3906.065 E 1657.129
N 3905.403 E 1701.755
N 3909.825 E 1659.315
N 3909.479 E 1657.053
N 3912.038 E 1655.576
N 3912.436 E 1656.515
N 3911.025 E 1659.291
N 3911.148 E 1659.506
N 3911.347 E 1659.521
N 3911.824 E 1659.739
They should all fall in the province of Crotone in Calabria, Italy, but
nothing I've tried gets them there :-(.
To give an idea, the coordinates with an asterix (N 3904,668 - E
1652,784) should
fall in the vicinity of coordinates: N 391373746 - E 16,8745837
(Roccabernarda in the province of Crotone).
Thanks for any help, and my apologies if the answer is so simple a primary
school kid could get there :-(, Sarah.
