EPSG:28991

Amersfoort / RD Old

Selected transformation

Method: Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Parameter values from Amersfoort to ETRS89 (3) (tfm code 15739) assuming that ETRS89 is equivalent to WGS 84 within the accuracy of the transformation. Replaces Amersfoort to WGS 84 (2) (code 1672). Replaced by Amersfoort to WGS 84 (4) (tfm code 4833).
