I need to accurately visualize points coming from iPhone (and other) GPS data in 3D.
So, what I’d like is to take a WGS84 (right?) point and transform that into an X,Y,Z vector with the origin at the center of the Earth.
I Googled for GPS/WGS84 to 3D but I think my search terms are not so great
Does someone have a pointer for where to start?
In future, I’ll also need to take elevation information into account if available, but that isn’t so important immediately.
Thanks!
what your looking for is representing your data in ECEF (Earth Centered Earth Fixed) notation.
Some good wikipedia stuff
