Spatial Reference Kertau RSO Malaya

steelissteelis — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 01:15:04 GMT

Hi,

I am writing a program to load in old data files to display on ArcGIS Runtime and run across the following coordinates 374123990 4729222. I know that the set of coordinate refer to a location in Singapore and was told it was using the Kertau RSO Malaya Meters Spatial Reference.

I have tried Googling for a formula or method but I couldn't really find any help on the issue. Or at least from a non-GIS background, I couldn't really link the information to the issue.

So, I'm hoping if there's anyone that could help or know of any method or formula to convert a coordinate from Kertau RSO Malaya to WGS84 or something that is humanly possible to display on ArcGIS runtime (Android to be exact)?

A big "Thank You" in advance for any help.

If it was me, I'd reproject the data using ArcMap, but if you really need a formula, I think you can find it in this article...Cadastral reform in Malaysia: A vision to the 2000s

The coordinates that you have don't match any Malaysian or Singaporean coordinate reference system that's in ArcGIS. The numbers are just too large. If I were to guess, possibly some "foot" conversion or they're in mm rather than meters? I'm not sure.

Sorry!
