Remarks

These parameter values are taken from NZGD49 to NZGD2000 (1) (code 1566) and assume that NZGD2000 and WGS 84 are coincident to within the accuracy of the tfm. For better accuracy use NZGD49 to WGS 84 (2) (code 1564) or NZGD49 to WGS 84 (3) (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 Geocentric translations (geog2D domain) method with 5m 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:15975) has an accuracy of 5m using the Geocentric translations (geog2D domain) method. Area of use: New Zealand - onshore and nearshore.
