I am trying to figure out what DPOS is outputting. Specifically if I do not specify a "Report coordinate system" then the DPOS report outputs a local format for the bottom right set of coordinates. In my case these are headed "State Plane Coordinates" "SPC (NAD83(2011) /5005 Alaska zone 5 - 156-152° W)" and labeled from the left for "meters". This makes sense.
If I specify a "Report coordinate system" such as EPSG:4326 the output I get for the bottom right set of coordinates is confusing. The result shows up labeled as "State Plane Coordinates" "SPC (WGS 84)" and appears as degrees minutes seconds N and W. Except for the confusing State Plane Coordinates and SPC labels this would appear to be the WGS84 coordinates I am looking for. I don't believe there is an existing state plane system using WGS84.
If I try to check if this is indeed a WGS84 output by using third party tools to convert between SPC (NAD83(2011) /5005 and WGS84 then I don't get matching results.
What is DPOS giving me? Am I able to get WGS84 values? I do understand that IGS08 is very nearly equivalent to WGS84 however it seems that choosing the actual WGS84 rather than the very nearly equivalent would be best.
Would Justin documentation be helpful for understanding this issue? Any other resources?
Possibly I am missing a big assumption here? Any explanations/help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Files of the same point processed the two ways are attached: one with no "Report coordinate system" specified and the other with EPSG:4326 specified.
