Selected transformation

Method: Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Derived at 3 stations. Accuracy 20m in each axis. Beware! Source CRS uses German legal metres, transformation parameter values are in (International) metres. See tfm code 1271 for example.

Information source: U.S. Defense Mapping Agency TR8350.2 September 1987.

Revision date: 2023-11-19

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: Schwarzeck

Datum: Schwarzeck

Ellipsoid: Bessel Namibia (GLM)

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Revision date: 2006-09-26

Scope: Engineering survey, topographic mapping.

Remarks: CARE! The ellipsoid semi-major axis dimension is defined in German Legal Metres as 6377397.155 GLM but for the CRS needs to9 be converted to CRS units of International metres as 6377483.865 m.

Area of use: Namibia - offshore.

Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (E,N). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
