Introduction

When working with geographic data, it is important to know the used projection and there are a number of coordinate reference systems (CRS) to describe it.

• EPSG:4326 – latitude-longitude in degrees that is most commonly used.
• EPSG:3857 – a 2D projection in units of meters.
• EPSG:25832 – used for example in Geoportal Baden-Württemberg.
