◦ , Gauss–Krueger coordinates, point 6 (dot–circle) in two separate strips.
Example 15.6 (Gauss–Krueger coordinates. Easting versus Northing coordinates).
The point 6, which is located on the Bessel ellipsoid, is described by ellipsoidal normal coordinates
L = 13.75
◦ and B = 53.8
◦ . Compare with Fig. 15.12.
First meridan strip.
Important!
x 1 (Gauss–Krueger) = 115 287.428 m, y 1 (Gauss–Krueger) = 5 964 460.428 m.
Easting: 4 615 287.428 m, Northing: 5 964 460.428 m.
Important!
The point 6 is located 115 287.428 m East of the reference meridian with the meridian number
4, that is L 0 = 12
◦ and 5 964 460.428 m North of the equator.
