India village list with long lat

[Deepak Sharda]

Dear Members,

I got a data of 15 thousand  villages with long lat in degree format. I tried to convert it to decimal and overlap on google map in QGIS

but my villages are little bit differ from exact location. Any guess why so.

I am attaching screenshots.

This kind of data for villages lat long was not available.

please try to look into it,

thank you 

Regards

Namaskaram,

Your village location data has rounded to minute (dd:mm), so it is not considering the seconds. Please not that every 1 arc second is equivalent 30 m roughly at this latitude, so you might get shift on village location ranging for <30m-<1800m.

Pranam

Ashwani
