Agents and valuers across Jamaica know the pain: you copy X/Y coordinates out of Eland, paste them into Google Maps…and your pin ends up bobbing somewhere out at sea. The culprit is simple but sneaky—Eland exports projected grid coordinates (metres) from Jamaica’s national system, while Google Maps expects latitude/longitude (degrees, WGS84).

To fix that day-to-day headache, there’s a lightweight, browser-based helper you can run on any device: Eland → Lat/Long Converter — try it here: https://jamaica-homes.com/eland-to-lat-long.html.
