I am trying to change coordinates system on my geopandas dataframe from epsg:5179 to epsg:4236.

BUT, .to_crs("epsg:4326") retruns different coordinates... How can I get true cordinates?

geo[geometry].set_crs("epsg:5179", inplace = True)
geo_df = geo[geometry].to_crs("epsg:4326")


Original
LINESTRING (14138122.900 4519000.200, 14138248...LINESTRING (14135761.800 4518881.600, 14135799...

Changed-proj
LINESTRING (-149.90927 12.31701, -149.90912 12...LINESTRING (-149.91219 12.32162, -149.91215 12...
  • What is your `true coordinates`? What is its `CRS`? – swatchai Feb 25 '21 at 13:50
  • The point of changing the CRS is to the get the locations of the geometries in a different coordinate system. You will by definition get different numeric values for the x- and y- coordinates of the geometries. What are you actually trying to do? – Paul H Feb 25 '21 at 17:24
  • @PaulH I have two data-frames. The one is following the epssg:5179 format, and the other is following epsg:4326. So that, I am trying to set in the same coordinate system format(epsg:4326) –  Feb 26 '21 at 00:10
  • Looks like you've achieved that. – Paul H Feb 26 '21 at 00:22

It seems like you got true coordinates with your code which is :

geo[geometry].set_crs("epsg:5179", inplace = True)
geo_df = geo[geometry].to_crs("epsg:4326")

I've been looking through pyproj, and couldn't find error to change coordinates epsg:5179 to epsg:4326.
