Coordinate system in Map&Guide

Question

One of my customers is evaluating transport planning software Map&Guide (http://www.mapandguide.com/) and what we require is to get the transport route data from their file to Garmin navigation device.

The problem is that the M&G file contains coordinates in some system that I do not recognize and I would like to ask your help to sort it out.

Slice from the M&G *.BCR file:

[COORDINATES]
STATION1=2751856,8265742
STATION2=4506233,9477610

The coordinates should match the locations in second section. Being from Estonia, I do not recognize 2751856,8265742 pair as anywhere near me.

Any help on the matter or any hints where to dig on are much appreciated

Answer 1

I think the coordinates are in the spherical Mercator used by Bing maps and Google maps, NOT UTM. UTM coords normally are 6 digits in the easting. EPSG uses 3857 (as does Esri starting with ArcGIS 10) for the well-known ID. Esri used to use either 102113 or 102100 and others around the internet use 900913 ("google").

Answer 2

Looks like Universal Transverse Mercator

Estonia is in UTM 34V (Gulf of Riga) & 35V
