ETRS89 / GK24FIN

Available transformations
to EPSG:27700
EPSG:27700 - OSGB36 / British National Grid

Selected transformation

Method: Ordnance Survey National Transformation

Remarks: Replaces ETRS89 to OSGB36 / British National Grid (1) (code 7913). Replaced by ETRS89 to OSGB36 / British National Grid (3) (code 7953). May be approximated to better than 0.03m using NTv2 method - see tfm code 5338.

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: ETRS89

Datum: European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 ensemble

Data source: EPSG

Information source: National Land Survey of Finland; http://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi

Revision date: 2020-03-30

Scope: Cadastre, engineering survey, topographic mapping (large scale).

Remarks: Replaces ETRS89 / ETRS-GK24FIN (CRS code 3131). (For medium scale mapping and country-wide work use ETRS89 / TM35FIN(N,E), code 5048).

Area of use: Finland - nominally onshore between 23°30'E and 24°30'E but may be used in adjacent areas if a municipality chooses to use one zone over its whole extent.

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