EPSG:28991

Amersfoort / RD Old

Selected transformation

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: rdtrans2008.gsb

Remarks: Consistent to within 1mm with official RNAPTRANS(TM)2008 at ground level onshore and at MSL offshore. The horizontal deviation using this NTv2 grid is approximately 1mm per 50m height difference from ground level or MSL.

Information source: Kadaster and Rijkswaterstaat CIV, working together under the name RDNAP.
