code 1766

Accuracy 1.5 m (default)
3 parameters

Method: Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)

Remarks: These parameters are derive from CH1903+ to ETRS89 (code 1647) and are used at lesser precision from CH1903 to WGS 84 as an approximation which is within the accuracy of the distortions in the CH1903 network. Replaces CH1903 to WGS 84 (1) (code 1753).
