EPSG:8679

MGI 1901 / Balkans zone 8

Selected transformation

Method: Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Derived at 479 nodes of Delauney triangulation generated from 1958 control points. Replaces MGI 1901 to Slovenia 1996 (1) (code 3916). May be taken as approximate transformation MGI 1901 to WGS 84 (see code 8688).

Information source: Berk and Komadina in GIS v Slovenije volume 10, 2009-2010, 291-299, Ljubliana. Also in Berk & Boldin (2017) Slovenian Coordinate Reference Systems in GIS Environment, Geodetski Vestnik 61(1), 91-101 using Position Vector transformation.
