MGI / Balkans zone 8

Transform Get position on a map

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

Selected transformation

Method: Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain)

Remarks: May be taken as approximate transformation MGI to ETRS89 assuming ETRS89 is equivalent to WGS 84 within the accuracy of the transformation - see tfm code 1024. Information source gives scale as -2.388739 ppm.
