Are you talking bout a web-app? Do you use a client like OpenLayers? What programming language(s) do you use? Is your datasource a database? Like postgis? If you can get UTM coordinates from the mouseclick, the next best option (in my opinion) would be to use proj4js: http://proj4js.org/ Simply embed the js-library ad an event for mouse handling and convert: screen->utm->4326. 2011/1/12 Bistrais, Bob <[email protected]> > This should be fairly straightforward, but I was wondering what is the > easiest and quickest way to convert coordinates on the fly.

Changing the projections on the map files to lat/long (* > EPSG:4326)* is not an option, as this will cause problems elsewhere.
