Selected transformation

Name: ETRS89-FRO [2008] to WGS 84 (1)

Method: Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Approximation at the +/- 1m level assuming that ETRS89 is equivalent to WGS 84. ETRS89-FRO [2008] is a national realization of ETRS89.

Information source: IOGP

Revision date: 2025-10-31

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: ETRS89-FRO [2008]

Datum: ETRS89-FRO [2008]

Ellipsoid: GRS 1980

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: Kort & Matrikelstyrelsen (KMS), Copenhagen.

Revision date: 2025-10-31

Scope: Engineering survey.

Remarks: Introduced in 2010. For topographic mapping see ETRS89-FRO [2008] / Faroe Lambert (CRS code 3145). For cadastral survey see fk89 (CRS code 3173). In due course this CRS (5316) is expected to replace these other CRSs.

Area of use: Faroe Islands - onshore and offshore.

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