I m new in GIS. Result contain metric result like meters, but in google maps, latitude and longitude needs from me.

How does result convert to latitude longitude? Please, can you help this stituation?

Hi,

As would be the inverse function?
Convert EPSG:900913 to EPSG:4326
Anyone know the solution?

Thank you very much for your help.

for c/c++ lovers:

#define DEGREE_TO_METER(Y) (log(tan((90.0 + (Y)) * M_PI / 360.0)) / (M_PI / 180.0))*111319.490778
#define DEGREE_TO_METER_REVERSE(Y) (atan(pow(M_E, ((Y)/111319.490778)*M_PI/180.0))*360.0/M_PI-90.0)

are there ways to convert a geojson 3857 coords to 4326?
doing it with r and java but cant find a way that would solve the propblem
epsg.io is perfect for single data,
function trans2(){

   var test_x = document.getElementById("test_x").value;
   var test_y = document.getElementById("test_y").value;

   var ll2=new OpenLayers.LonLat(test_x, test_y).transform(
			new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"), 
			new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326")
			);
   	      
   $("#test_ll_x").val(ll2.lon);
   $("#test_ll_y").val(ll2.lat);

}

is cool for java

but would like to know ways to do it in R

Here's my general workflow for transforming a CRS in R.

With some GIS file (shp, gpkg, etc):

library(sf)
library(dplyr)
filepath <- system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf")
st_read(filepath) %>%
  st_set_crs(4326) %>% 
  st_transform(3857)

With a CSV:

df <- read.csv("some_csv.csv")
df %>% 
  st_as_sf(coords = c("lat_col", "lng_col")) %>% 
  st_set_crs(4326) %>% 
  st_transform(3857)

Can you please help with converting meters to lat long?

@Us77:

The C++ macro posted above works well for converting meters to lat/long degrees: #define DEGREE_TO_METER_REVERSE(Y) (atan(pow(M_E, ((Y)/111319.490778)*M_PI/180.0))*360.0/M_PI-90.0) (Thanks @jiangfeng79!)

Should be trivial to adapt to Python.
