Selected transformation

Method: Position Vector transformation (geog2D domain)

Remarks: Derived at 35 points of the German GPS Network DREF. From 2001 replaces Pulkovo 1942(83) to ETRS89 (1) (code 1674) within Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Sachsen-Anhalt. From 2009 replaces tfm 1674 in all other states of former East Germany.
