	Do you need homework help, or is this a real question?

	My computer software uses Lat & Long only. These coordinates were given to me in northing/easting. Please convert these coordinates to lat & long 6257403.85 2260930.63

	What are the units of these eastings and northings? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Please tell us where you are and what system are you using. (Albers, Transverse Mercator etc) Different systems will return different results. The difference come from the direction they are viewing the earth. I have collected a lot of info over the years. The constants I have for WGS84 are to less digits and I never had the time to really test them but I presume it may be to 1 mm accuracy. GIS software (Arc-View ArcGis from ESRI) can also do it for you. ESRI has a free Arc_Explorer. Download and try it out. __________________ Never do today what you can put of until tomorrow - Student motto
