The ClarkeWGS Coordinate Converter transforms the coordinates of GIS data from a Modified Clarke 1880 coordinate system to a WGS 84 coordinate system and vice-versa. The converter uses a combination of a Helmert transformation and for applications requiring greater accuracy, an optional weighted mean adjustment. Control data for the ClarkeWGS Coordinate Converter can be purchased from the Chief Directorate: Surveys and Mapping. This control data is supplied as two files containing trig beacon information in both the Modified Clarke 1880 coordinate system and the WGS 84 coordinate system. Control data can also be imported from various other formats or entered manually. For users that do not require centimeter accuracy, degree square parameters as supplied by the Chief Directorate: Surveys and Mapping has also been built into the software.

Rigorous. For Land Surveyors and other users requiring high accuracy, this conversion uses a rigorous procedure
