to EPSG:11037
EPSG:11037 - ETRS89-NLD [AGRS2010]

Selected transformation

Name: Amersfoort to ETRS89-NLD [AGRS2010] (9)

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: rdtrans2018.gsb

Remarks: Defines Amersfoort (also known as RD Bessel). Horizontal component of official transformation RDNAPTRANS(TM)2018. Replaces Amersfoort to ETRS89 (7) (CT code 7000).
