Transform Coordinates
Remarks
For many purposes RGWF96 can be considered to be coincident with WGS 84. This approximation ignores the low accuracy of the WGS 84 ensemble and the application of tectonic plate motion to WGS 84 data.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert RGWF96 to WGS 84 coordinates?
Use the coordinate transformation tool above to convert RGWF96 (EPSG:8900) to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Enter your source coordinates and click Transform. This uses the Geocentric translations (geog2D domain) method with 1m accuracy.
How do I transform RGWF96 to WGS 84 using Proj4js?
Use proj4.defs to define both EPSG:8900 and EPSG:4326, then call proj4(source, target, [x, y]) to convert coordinates programmatically.
What is the accuracy of the RGWF96 to WGS 84 transformation?
This transformation (EPSG:9769) has an accuracy of 1m using the Geocentric translations (geog2D domain) method. Area of use: Wallis and Futuna.
