My two main questions are:</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>1. Is there a way to use other target coordinate systems/types other than XY and DMS to georeference (e.g. MGRS)? When georeferencing, I first left-click a source point on the raster image and then right-click a target point on the map so that I can write down the coordinates where I want to bind the image. But it only allows either XY or DMS. How can I utilize other coordinate systems?</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>2. How can I use more decimals when georeferencing? When using the method above with DMS coordinates, ArcGIS Pro doesn't let me apply decimal values for the target coordinates. For&nbsp;example, I try to apply the following (randomized for this post) coordinates: 37°58'46.02" N, 23°42'58.39" E and I get an error&nbsp;message:</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>"GeometryObjectException: Cannot convert geo coordinate string to xy-coordinates."</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>But if I leave the last two decimals to zero (37°58'46.00" N, 23°42'58.00" E), then ArcGIS Pro lets me use them and sets the control point. However, this leaves my map bindings inaccurate, and being able to utilize 2 or even more decimals would make my work so much more precise. Is there a way to georeference with decimal values other than zero?</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Thank you!</DIV></DIV> Wed, 09 Jul 2025 16:50:53 GMT New2GIS 2025-07-09T16:50:53Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/georeferencing-with-other-coordinate-systems-and/m-p/1631579#M97108 <DIV>Hello!<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>I'm very new to ArcGIS Pro and have some issues with georeferencing and coordinates.
