In QGIS, I am using WGS 84 UTM 43 EPSG 3263 for both Project and Basemap of Google Satellite Hybrid.

Now when I navigate to my home location in Basemap, with Lat Lon tool I captured the coordinates which showed me this result: 2825537.85691968, 8206411.02187792

But when I go on Google Earth and navigate to my same home location, I get these coordinate details in degree: Latitude 24.590745°, Longitude 73.719637°

enter image description here

Why is QGIS not showing coordinate values as Google Earth? How to convert latitude and longitude values in degrees to the values compatible with QGIS canvas?

Go to Project - Properties - General and change the display coordinates option to WGS 84 - degree. For more details, check the official doumentation.

  • I did it. And it is displaying coordinate in degree form in status bar. But the problem is this that still the coordinates which are displayed when I roll over to my home location are not as my home location in google earth

  • 24.59°N 73.71°E points to the area depicted in your screenshot. Where do you end up when entering those coordinates @HNA?
