CH1903 (deg)

Available transformations
to EPSG:4258

Selected transformation

Name: CH1903 to ETRS89 (1)

Method: Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Parameter values from CH1903+ to ETRS89 (tfm code 1647). Application of these parameters to CH1903 ignores the scale distortions in the CH1903 network, hence low accuracy. In EPSG db v5.2 to v8.9 given to 1dm; the difference in output of cms is considered by swisstopo to be insignificant given the tfm accuracy. Replaced by CH1903 to ETRS89 (2) (CT code 7674) and transformation to national realization CH1903 to ETRS89-CHE [CHTRS95] (2) (CT code 11782).
