EPSG:26920

NAD83 / UTM zone 20N

Available transformations
to EPSG:4152

Selected transformation

Method: NADCON

Grid Files: mnhpgn.las mnhpgn.los

Remarks: Uses NADCON method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD83 (code 4269) and NAD83(HARN) (code 4152) have longitudes positive east. May be taken as approximate transformation NAD83-WGS 84 - see code 1710.

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NAD83

Datum: North American Datum 1983

Data source: EPSG

Revision date: 2009-09-05

Scope: Engineering survey, topographic mapping.

Remarks: In Canada, replaces NAD27 / UTM zone 20N (CRS code 26720); for accuracies better than 1m replaced by NAD83(CSRS) / UTM zone 20N(CRS code 2961). In BVI, replaces Puerto Rico / UTM zone 20N (CRS code 3920).

Area of use: North America - between 66°W and 60°W - onshore and offshore. British Virgin Islands. Canada - New Brunswick; Labrador; Nunavut; Prince Edward Island; Quebec. Puerto Rico. US Virgin Islands. United States (USA) offshore Atlantic.

Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (E,N). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
