WGS84 to Swiss LV95 Coordinate Converter
Free online tool to convert coordinates from World Geodetic System 1984 (lat/lng) (EPSG:4326) to CH1903+ / LV95 (Switzerland) (EPSG:2056). Professional-grade accuracy using proj4, zero install, runs in your browser.
About WGS84
World Geodetic System 1984 (lat/lng) (EPSG:4326). The global reference system used by GPS, Google Maps and virtually all modern navigation. Defined by satellite geodesy and continuously refined.
About Swiss LV95
CH1903+ / LV95 (Switzerland) (EPSG:2056). Swiss coordinate system used by swisstopo. LV95 is the modern version (since 1995) of the classic Swiss grid with oblique Mercator projection centered on Bern.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WGS84 and Swiss LV95?
WGS84 (EPSG:4326) is geographic and based in Global, while Swiss LV95 (EPSG:2056) is national grid based in Switzerland. The global reference system used by GPS, Google Maps and virtually all modern navigation. Defined by satellite geodesy and continuously refined. In contrast, swiss coordinate system used by swisstopo. lv95 is the modern version (since 1995) of the classic swiss grid with oblique mercator projection centered on bern.
Is this conversion accurate for surveying?
Yes. The conversion uses the industry-standard proj4 library with full datum shift parameters (). Typical accuracy is sub-meter for civilian applications. For cadastral precision, always verify against the official agency datum.
What coordinate format should I use?
For WGS84, enter coordinates as decimal degrees in the format "lat, lng" (e.g. 45.4642, 9.1900). The tool auto-detects the format.
Can I convert many points at once?
Yes, use our batch CSV converter. Upload a CSV with your points, select the transformation, download the converted file. Free with a SurveyingPedia account.
Is there an API?
Yes — call /api/v1/transform?from=EPSG:4326&to=EPSG:2056&coords=lat,lng for programmatic access. It returns the transformed coordinates as JSON.
