[GIS] What Datum is used by Google Maps

coordinate systemdatumgoogle mapsqgis

I am trying to convert vector shapefiles into Google Maps Datum using QGIS.

Do you know which one is the datum?

When I tried to convert them into WGS84 EPSG 3857, I could see that the shapes of the buildings didn't fit very well with those which are in Maps.


I've already tried using both EPSG:3857 and EPSG:4326. I don't have any good results.enter image description here

Google use Web Mercator.

EPSG:3857 formerly EPSG:900913

But Web Mercator is a interesting projection system. As it uses WGS84 for calculations.

So you can try EPSG:4326
