Name: NAD27 to NAD83 (6)
Method: NTv2
Grid Files: NA27NA83.GSB
Remarks: Also distributed with file name QUE27-83.gsb. Replaces NAD27 to NAD83 (5) (code 1462). Uses NT method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD27 (code 4267) and NAD83 (code 4269) have longitudes positive east.
Information source: Geodetic Service of Quebec.
