Geodetic CRS: HD72
Datum: Hungarian Datum 1972
Ellipsoid: GRS 1967
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG
Information source: Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) - Faculty of Civil Engineering. https://github.com/OSGeoLabBp/eov2etrs/blob/master/etrs2eov_doc.rst
Revision date: 2025-10-31
Scope: Geodesy, engineering survey, topographic mapping.
Remarks: Emulation to better than 2mm of the official SGO EHT transformation. ETRF2000 coordinates of the grid nodes were converted to HD72 using the online EHT tool. For cadastral and other legal purposes the official transformation (CT code 10663) must be used.
Method: NTv2
Area of use: Hungary.
