Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Abidjan 1987 to WGS 84 coordinates?
Use the coordinate transformation tool above to convert Abidjan 1987 (EPSG:4143) to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Enter your source coordinates and click Transform. This uses the Geocentric translations (geog2D domain) method with 2m accuracy.
How do I transform Abidjan 1987 to WGS 84 using Proj4js?
Use proj4.defs to define both EPSG:4143 and EPSG:4326, then call proj4(source, target, [x, y]) to convert coordinates programmatically.
What is the accuracy of the Abidjan 1987 to WGS 84 transformation?
This transformation (EPSG:6872) has an accuracy of 2m using the Geocentric translations (geog2D domain) method. Area of use: Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) - offshore.
