Transform GPS Decimal Degrees (DD) coordinates into X,Y

[Julio555]

Hi,

I am trying to convert some GPS coordinates from a DD format in to X,Y

I already used google earth to take them, so I could get the 4 corners, left & right sides centers and 3 centers.

This is the what I have done.

Top_corner_lat <-51.392453
Top_corner_log <--0.247714
Bottom_corner_lat<-51.392472
Bottom_corner_log<--0.246803
Center_left_lat<-51.392458
Center_left_log<--0.247269
Top_center_lat <-51.392897
Top_center_log <--0.247739
Bottom_center_lat<-51.392917
Bottom_center_log<--0.246814
Center_center_lat<-51.392908
Center_center_lat<--0.247278
Top_corner_right_lat <-51.393344
Top_corner_right_log <--0.247764
Bottom_corner_right_lat<-51.393364
Bottom_corner_right_log<--0.246842
Center_right_lat<-51.393353
Center_right_log<--0.247308

I also want to plot in a rect of 0,100 for x and 0,100 for y

Any ideas how to convert the lat and log to fit this scale?

Thanks and advance

Can you just reproject the dataset to a projected coordinate system for whatever geographical area you are working with?

Whenever I try to do that, I get exponential values, and the rectangle pitch disappears
