EPSG:7709

OSGB36 to ETRS89-GBR [OSNet v2009] (2)

Attributes

Geodetic CRS: OSGB36

Datum: Ordnance Survey of Great Britain 1936

Ellipsoid: Airy 1830

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: Ordnance Survey of Great Britain.

Revision date: 2025-10-17

Scope: Transformation of coordinates at 0.03m level of accuracy.

Remarks: Approximate alternative to official OSTN15 method (tfm code 7953). May be taken as approximate transformation OSGB36 to WGS 84 - see code 7710. Replaces OSGB36 to ETRS89 (1) (tfm code 5338).

Method: NTv2

Area of use: United Kingdom (UK) - offshore to boundary of UKCS within 49°45'N to 61°N and 9°W to 2°E; onshore Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). Isle of Man onshore.
