My GPS Coordinates (roughly)

At work I've been dealing with GPS, coordinate system transformations (Cartesian to geodetic), and plane geometry a lot lately. It's nice to be learning a new domain to which I can apply my software engineering skills. Knowing a programming language and development tools is one thing; knowing a few domains (or even one) in business or engineering applications is a whole other issue -- the latter allowing you to build useful stuff with the former.

The WGS84 (geodetic lat/long standard used by GPS satellites) coordinates for my address are:
42.3256950 latitude and -71.3973710 longitude

Which can also be expressed as:

Degrees, Minutes & Seconds
Latitude Longitude
N42 19 32 W71 23 50

GPS
Latitude Longitude
N 42 19.542 W 71 23.842

UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator grid system)
 X Y
19N 302466 4688722

Data obtained using the handy form at GPSVisualizer, which uses the free (for non-commercial use) online geocoder database. If you look on a satellite image on Google Maps the coordinates seem to be off by a few hundred feet. But that's pretty close for a free mailing address-based lookup.
