EPSG:8408 DEPRECATED

AGD66 to WGS 84 (6)

Attributes

Geodetic CRS: AGD66

Datum: Australian Geodetic Datum 1966

Ellipsoid: Australian National Spheroid

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: OGP

Revision date: 1999-05-24

Steps of transformation: 1464 1150

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 GDA94 is equivalent to WGS 84. Superseded by AGD66 to WGS 84 (11) (code 8578).

Area of use: Australia - Victoria.
