EPSG:31256

MGI / Austria GK East

Selected transformation

Method: Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Parameter values from MGI to WGS 84 (8) (tfm code 1194). Assumes ETRS89 and WGS 84 can be considered the same to within the accuracy of the transformation. Information source gives scale as -2.388739 ppm.
