Geodetic CRS: NAD27(CGQ77)
Datum: North American Datum 1927 (CGQ77)
Ellipsoid: Clarke 1866
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG
Information source: OGP
Revision date: 1999-05-24
Scope: (null/copy) Approximation for medium and low accuracy applications assuming equality between plate-fixed static and earth-fixed dynamic CRSs, ignoring static/dynamic CRS differences.
Remarks: Approximation at the +/- 1m level assuming that NAD83 is equivalent to WGS 84. Superseded by NAD27(CGQ77) to WGS 84 (2) (code 8564).
Area of use: Canada - Quebec.
