NAD83 / Connecticut

Available transformations
to EPSG:4326

Selected transformation

Method: NADCON

Grid Files: nehpgn.las nehpgn.los

Remarks: Parameter files are from NAD83 to NAD83(HARN) (17) (code 1490) assuming that NAD83(HARN) is equivalent to WGS 84 within the accuracy of the transformation.
