I have loads of positions (Lat/Longs on Offshore installations) given to me in European Datum 1950.<br />
The data is currently in an Excel spreadsheet, and I need to convert them to WGS84 before importing them into my map viewer.<br />

Can anyone help me figure out a formula to convert the data?<br />

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. A geographic information system (GIS) or geospatial information system is any system that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data that are linked to location(s). In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.
