Transform Coordinates
Remarks
Derived via PZ-90 at 30 stations throughout USSR (Former Soviet Union, FSU) through concatenation of Pulkovo 1942 to PZ-90 (1) (tfm code 15844) and PZ-90 to WGS 84 (1) (tfm code 15843).
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Pulkovo 1942 to WGS 84 coordinates?
Use the coordinate transformation tool above to convert Pulkovo 1942 (EPSG:4284) to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Enter your source coordinates and click Transform. This uses the Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain) method with 4.5m accuracy.
How do I transform Pulkovo 1942 to WGS 84 using Proj4js?
Use proj4.defs to define both EPSG:4284 and EPSG:4326, then call proj4(source, target, [x, y]) to convert coordinates programmatically.
What is the accuracy of the Pulkovo 1942 to WGS 84 transformation?
This transformation (EPSG:15865) has an accuracy of 4.5m using the Coordinate Frame rotation (geog2D domain) method. Area of use: Europe - FSU onshore.
