## Description

WGS84 Converter is a powerful Chrome extension designed for easy conversion between WGS84 and various local coordinate systems such as Mercator and Lambert. Using the Google Maps API, it allows users to find coordinates from any address or retrieve addresses from geographic coordinates instantly.

Key features include transforming coordinates between different systems using both preset and custom EPSG reference numbers, converting latitudes and longitudes between decimal degrees and degrees, minutes, and seconds, and querying elevation data. Users can also save coordinate lists as GPX or text files, navigate locations directly through Google Maps for geo-caching, and share position details with friends. This tool is ideal for professionals and enthusiasts needing precise geographic data management and navigation support.

## Review summary

Users appreciate the app for its accuracy, wide selection of coordinate systems, ease of use, and helpful developer support. However, some report inaccuracies in converting to certain coordinate systems like PRS92 and bulk UTM conversions, missing specific coordinate systems important locally, and minor usability issues such as sharing results instead of saving and post-purchase reinstall needs. Overall, it is regarded as a highly effective and responsive tool for coordinate transformation tasks.

### Pros

- Highly accurate coordinate conversions praised by multiple users
- Supports a wide range of local coordinate systems and frequently updated
- Simple and easy to use interface
- Useful for fieldwork and locating benchmarks
- Developer is responsive and open to user requests for new systems

### Cons

- Conversion errors noted specifically for PRS92 and bulk conversions to UTM in some zones
- Lack of some coordinate systems like EPSG 3448 (JAD2001) and Cassini Geocentric
- Some frustration with the share-only feature instead of saving conversion results
- Issues with app re-installation after premium purchase and requirement for semicolon as list separator
- Privacy concerns regarding use of Google services mentioned
