Coordinate Reference Systems
Transform Coordinates
Remarks
Derived by Geoid in 2000 from ITRF connection by NAGECO for TotalFinaElf. For historic compatibility TFE use the 1994 tfm ELD79 to WGS 84 (3) (code 1861) rather than this transformation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert ELD79 to WGS 84 coordinates?
Use the coordinate transformation tool above to convert ELD79 (EPSG:4159) to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Enter your source coordinates and click Transform. This uses the Position Vector transformation (geog2D domain) method with 0.5m accuracy.
How do I transform ELD79 to WGS 84 using Proj4js?
Use proj4.defs to define both EPSG:4159 and EPSG:4326, then call proj4(source, target, [x, y]) to convert coordinates programmatically.
What is the accuracy of the ELD79 to WGS 84 transformation?
This transformation (EPSG:1862) has an accuracy of 0.5m using the Position Vector transformation (geog2D domain) method. Area of use: Libya - Mabruk.
