Convert a point form StatePlane to Degrees Minutes Seconds

How would I convert a point form StatePlane to Degrees Minutes Seconds using the javaScript API?

Use a geometry service to project your point. Geometry service project a point sample.

Billy,

If you find the response of the geometry service to be too slow, this can be done using JavaScript on the front-end. It depends on which State Plane zone you are converting (you will have to look up the appropriate false easting/northing, origin, ellipsoid, etc.), but below is the code I use. I have it populating two SPAN boxes at the bottom of my map, but you could change this to return the coordinates instead. It is very responsive and can real-time return coordinates on a mouse pan.

Matthew,

I'm trying to get this code to work with NC state plane, I've made the following changes:

var false_easting = (2000000.002616666 + (2 / 3)); // false easting
var false_northing = (0 + (1 / 3)) // Should be 0. this is a 'fudge' factor.
var lat_o = 33.75 //Origin Latitude NV state plane
var long_o = (-79 + ((1 / 3) * 0.01)) // Central Meridan NC state plane

But am not getting the results I need, are there any other modifications I need to make?

Check your Central Meridian. I think it should be "79", not "-79". Notice in my Nevada West calculation I have "118.58" even though it should technically be "-118.58". Good luck!

I have done the save conversion in JavaScript as well. Be very careful in determining if your State Plane is Lambert or Transverse Mercator, it is two different calculations

Here is some code for going to and from SP to LL, and to UTM and USNG as well. Wicked fast, we use it for moveover live coordinate display. (I only convert LL to SP in transverse mercator, since that is what florida west is)
(had to attach, is 21000 lines)

You can also use the proj4js library to do the projection.
