Transform Coordinates

Remarks

These parameter values are taken from NZGD49 to NZGD2000 (2) (code 1701) and assume that NZGD2000 and WGS 84 are coincident to within the accuracy of the transformation. For improved accuracy use NZGD49 to WGS 84 (4) (code 1670).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert NZGD49 to WGS 84 coordinates?

Use the coordinate transformation tool above to convert NZGD49 (EPSG:4272) to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Enter your source coordinates and click Transform. This uses the Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain) method with 4m accuracy.

How do I transform NZGD49 to WGS 84 using Proj4js?

Use proj4.defs to define both EPSG:4272 and EPSG:4326, then call proj4(source, target, [x, y]) to convert coordinates programmatically.

What is the accuracy of the NZGD49 to WGS 84 transformation?

This transformation (EPSG:1564) has an accuracy of 4m using the Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain) method. Area of use: New Zealand - onshore and nearshore.
