Malongo 1987

Transform Get position on a map

Available transformations
to EPSG:8699
EPSG:8699 - RSAO13

  • Angola (Cabinda) , accuracy 5.0 m, code 9906 (default) [3]

Selected transformation

Method: Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Parameter values taken from Malongo 1987 to WGS 84 (2) (code 1557) assuming that RSAO13 is coincident with WGS 84 within the accuracy of the transformation. Equivalent to concatenation of EPSG:1557 and EPSG:8819.
