Geo2gps [repack]

Drone software (like Pix4D or DroneDeploy) often exports thermal or multispectral data in UTM. To share that location with ground crews carrying standard GPS devices, you must batch-convert via a geo2gps workflow.

decimal = degrees + minutes/60 + seconds/3600 if (S or W) then decimal = -decimal geo2gps

But what exactly is "geo2gps"? Is it software, a formula, or a concept? This article explores the complete ecosystem of converting "geo" (any geographic representation) into "GPS" (the standardized input for your navigation device). Drone software (like Pix4D or DroneDeploy) often exports

"Geo" refers to data that is related to a location on the Earth’s surface. However, this data can come in many forms that are not immediately readable by a GPS navigation device. Is it software, a formula, or a concept

The most common Geo2GPS application is forward geocoding. This is the process of converting an address into coordinates. When you type "coffee shop" into Google Maps, the system performs a Geo2GPS operation:
