AI AgentFrequently asked questions
What is EPSG:4674?
SIRGAS 2000 in latitude and longitude, the official datum of Brazil (IBGE) and much of Latin America, within a few centimetres of WGS 84.
What are the units and axis order of EPSG:4674?
Degrees. The EPSG definition puts latitude first, while GeoJSON, KML, PROJ strings and most GIS software write longitude first: check the order when a point lands in the wrong place.
How do I use EPSG:4674 in QGIS?
To show the map in it: Project > Properties > CRS, search 4674. To save a layer in it: right-click the layer, Export > Save Features As, and pick EPSG:4674. Set Layer CRS only labels a file whose system is missing; it does not move the data.
Is EPSG:4674 the same as WGS 84?
Nearly: its datum sits within two metres of WGS 84, so the converter applies no shift between them. For survey-grade work, use the official transformation of the national mapping agency.
