EPSG:28992

Amersfoort / RD New -- Netherlands - Holland - Dutch

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

Selected transformation

Name: Amersfoort to WGS 84 (2)

Remarks: Parameter values for step 1 from Amersfoort to ETRS89 (2) (code 1751). Step 2 assumes that ETRS89 is equivalent to WGS 84 within the accuracy of the transformation. Supersedes Amersfoort to WGS 84 (1) (code 1112).
