Coordinate Reference Systems
Transform Coordinates
Remarks
Parameter values taken from ED87 to ETRS89 (1) (tfm code 4078) assuming that ETRS89 is coincident with WGS 84 within the accuracy of the transformation. Used as a tfm between ED50 and WGS 84 - see code 3904.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert ED87 to WGS 84 coordinates?
Use the coordinate transformation tool above to convert ED87 (EPSG:4231) to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Enter your source coordinates and click Transform. This uses the Position Vector transformation (geog2D domain) method with 1m accuracy.
How do I transform ED87 to WGS 84 using Proj4js?
Use proj4.defs to define both EPSG:4231 and EPSG:4326, then call proj4(source, target, [x, y]) to convert coordinates programmatically.
What is the accuracy of the ED87 to WGS 84 transformation?
This transformation (EPSG:3905) has an accuracy of 1m using the Position Vector transformation (geog2D domain) method. Area of use: Europe - west.
