AbstractAbstractAn algorithm is derived to transform Cartesian coordinates to geodetic coordinates by employing ellipsoidal coordinates in an intermediate step. The algorithm is comparatively simple and stable in all steps for any point in space outside a geocentric sphere of an approximate radius of 43 km.Keywords: TRANSFORMATIONCARTESIAN COORDINATESGEODETIC COORDINATES
