Selected transformation

Name: NAD27 to NAD83 (3)

Method: NTv1

Grid Files: NTv1_0.gsb

Remarks: Uses NTv1 method. Replaced in Quebec by code 1462 and elsewhere in 1997 by NTv2 (transformation code 1313). Input expects longitudes to be positive west; EPSG GeogCRS NAD27 (code 4267) and NAD83 (code 4269) have longitudes positive east.
