Selected transformation

Name: CH1903 to ETRS89-CHE [CHTRF95] (2)

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: CHENyx06_ETRS.gsb

Remarks: Equivalent to concatenation of CTs 15486 (CH1903 to CH1903+) and 1647 (CH1903+ to ETRS89-CHE [CHTRF95]). Approximates official FINELTRA application to within 2cm. Also documented as CT between CH1903 and CHTRS95 (see code 7673). Replaces CT code 1646. May be used as approximate CT CH1903 to WGS 84, see code 7788.
