Proj4dart is a Dart library to transform point coordinates from one coordinate system to another, including datum transformations (Dart version of proj4js/proj4js).
Add proj4dart to pubspec.yml (dependencies section), then run pub get to download the new dependencies.
dependencies:
proj4dart: any # or the latest version on PubThere are 3 predefined Projections and 5 aliases by default:
- EPSG:4326, which has the following alias:
- WGS84
- EPSG:4269
- EPSG:3857, which has the following aliases:
- EPSG:3785
- EPSG:900913
- EPSG:102113
If you wish to use one of the predefined ones use Named Projection which has the following signature:
var projection = Projection.get('EPSG:4326')!;Proj4dart supports Proj4 definition strings, OGC WKT definitions and ESRI WKT definitions. They can be obtained from epsg.io.
If you wish to define your own projection you can create it with a valid Proj4 string (here for EPSG:23700):
+proj=somerc +lat_0=47.14439372222222 +lon_0=19.04857177777778 +k_0=0.99993 +x_0=650000 +y_0=200000 +ellps=GRS67 +towgs84=52.17,-71.82,-14.9,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defsThe signature is:

// Named Projection signature, later find it from anywhere via Projection.get('EPSG:23700')

// Projection without name signature

To use +nadgrids= in a proj definition, first read your NTv2 .gsb file into an Uint8List, then pass to Projection.nadgrid. E.g:
Dart:
final bytes = await File(
'assets/my_grid.gsb',
).readAsBytes();
Projection.nadgrid('key', bytes);Flutter:
import 'package:flutter/services.dart' show rootBundle;
final bytes = (await rootBundle.load(fileName)).buffer.asUint8List();
Projection.nadgrid('key', bytes);then use the given key in your definition, e.g. +nadgrids=@key,null. See Proj4 General Parameters.
Nadgrid example:
import 'package:flutter/services.dart' show rootBundle;
final bytes = (await rootBundle.load('assets/nzgd2kgrid0005.gsb')).buffer.asUint8List();
Projection.nadgrid('nzgd2kgrid0005.gsb', bytes);

Proj4dart was tested with
- 8444 Proj4 definitions (test/data/all_proj4_defs.dart)
- 5642 OGC WKT definitions (test/data/all_proj4_ogc_wkt_defs.dart)
- 7426 ESRI WKT definitions (test/data/all_proj4_esri_wkt_defs.dart)
Forward and inverse transformations were both performed and checked in each case. The expected forward and inverse results were pre-calculated using proj4js (test/results/all_proj4_results.dart, test/results/all_proj4_ogc_wkt_results.dart, test/results/all_proj4_esri_wkt_results.dart).
The following table shows the avarage deltas of different Projections (using EPSG:4326 point of [17.888058560281515, 46.89226406700879] and transformed to Custom CRS defined with Proj4 definition string which gave the forward result then transformed back the received forward result which gave the inverse result):
