NAD83 / UTM zone 16N

Available transformations
to EPSG:4326
EPSG:4326 - WGS 84

Selected transformation

Name: NAD83 to WGS 84 (8)

Remarks: The gridded difference file AB_CSRS.DAC in STEP 1 will need to be renamed to AB_CSRS.gsb to run in some software suites. Formats identical, but AB file is provincial fit only.
