    Moti, can you try and get the names right before you post. It's a lot of work to change them.
    Cheers,

    What's wrong with the used coordinates?

    Maybe on your map the numbers are shortend at the last digit (accuracy 1 m). For accurate converting they have to be multiplied by ten.

    Your Coordinates: 13662 E, 87850 N
    converted: 33.69176624 E, 22.34894517 N
    Anywhere in southern Egypt.

    Your Coordinates x 10: 136620 E, 878500 N
    converted: 34.86497694 E, 29.49220287 N
    Near Taba at the border to Israel.
