I have an older database at work and I've been asked to map the
recorded GPS coordinates for each record. Unfortunately, I can't
figure out the map coordinates that were recorded.

As an example, 1301 Calle Oriente in Milpitas California shows as:

06158991 and 01987998

If I look at google maps, 1301 Calle Oriente is 37.446687, -121.886884

Is there a website that I convert 06158991 and 01987998 to a map like
google maps? Is this a valid mapping coordinate format? If so,
please let me know what format this is.

TIA

It is state plan coordinates. Code 0403 California 3. The 01987998 is
Northing/Y and 06158991 is Easting/X. Go here,
http://www.agc.army.mil/corpscon/index.html, download and install
Corpscon and you can convert from state plane coordinates to geographic.
You will have to spend some time learning how to use the program. Try
manual conversions first to get a feeling for the program.
