Transforms run in your browser. The basemap provider receives tile requests for the visible map area.
Transformation uses the bundled proj4js definitions. No authoritative accuracy metadata or datum grids are available here.
How coordinate transformation works
The app converts through the source and target projection definitions bundled with the application. Datum changes may require parameters or grids that are not available; this page does not claim unsupported accuracy.
CRS details for engineering use
Review the CRS type, projection method, datum, units, axis order and area of use before mixing CAD, GIS and survey data. EPSG pages in GeoCAD Bridge link directly to transformation tools so test coordinates can be checked before production delivery.

Example coordinates
A WGS 84 point at longitude 40.5°, latitude 24.0° (inside the area of use) has these coordinates in EPSG:32637:
| Axis | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| E | 652,578.355 | m |
| N | 2,655,039.017 | m |
At this point the projection scale factor is 0.99988755 and the grid convergence is +0.610223°.

FAQ
What is EPSG:32637?
EPSG:32637 (WGS 84 / UTM zone 37N) is a projected coordinate reference system on the World Geodetic System 1984 ensemble datum using the Transverse Mercator method, with coordinates in metres. Area of use: Between 36°E and 42°E, northern hemisphere between equator and 84°N, onshore and offshore. The datum is an ensemble with about 2.0 m accuracy, so precise work should name a specific realization.
Where can EPSG:32637 be used?
Its area of use is: Between 36°E and 42°E, northern hemisphere between equator and 84°N, onshore and offshore. Djibouti. Egypt. Eritrea. Ethiopia. Georgia. Iraq. Jordan. Kenya. Lebanon. Russian Federation. Saudi Arabia. Somalia. Sudan. Syria. Türkiye (Turkey). Ukraine.
Is EPSG:32637 in metres or degrees?
EPSG:32637 is projected, so coordinates are easting and northing in metres, not degrees.
How do I convert EPSG:32637 to latitude and longitude?
Transform from EPSG:32637 to EPSG:4326 (WGS 84). In GeoCAD Bridge open the coordinate converter with EPSG:32637 preselected, enter easting and northing, and choose WGS 84 as the target.
What is the central meridian of EPSG:32637?
39° (UTM zone 37), with a scale factor of 0.9996, false easting 500 000 m and false northing 0 m.
