It is difficult to process GIS vector data when they are not aligned with one another. The need for different coordinate systems rose from the fact that some coordinate systems are better fitted to describe the phenomenon happening in a specific area. The purpose of this study is to develop a web application capable of converting the coordinate system of a GIS data format such as a shapefile for Peninsular Malaysia. The web application named Coordinate Conversion Application (CCA) was developed using Django and Python and is capable of 5 coordinate transformations namely WGS84 to GDM2000 and vice versa, WGS84 to MRSO (old), MRSO (old) to Cassini (old) and vice versa. Results obtained were compared with existing software such as GDTS and ArcGIS, and analysis shows that CCA has achieved satisfactory accuracy.
