EPSG Code

An EPSG code is a unique identifier assigned to a specific coordinate system or map projection used in geographic and spatial data. Think of it as a label that helps software understand how to accurately place and interpret location data on the Earth's surface. Different areas and mapping projects may require different coordinate systems, and the EPSG code ensures consistency and precision when working with maps, GPS, and geographic information systems (GIS). Essentially, it standardizes the way spatial data is referenced, making it easier to share and analyze location-based information accurately.
