Selected transformation

Method: NADCON

Grid Files: eshpgn.las eshpgn.los

Remarks: NADCON method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs American Samoa 1962 and NAD83(HARN) (codes 4169 and 4152) have longitudes positive east. NADCON expects latitudes in northern hemisphere and values must be made positive prior to input.
