Transform Coordinates
Remarks
SHGD2015 is realized by ITRF2008 at epoch 2015.0 and can be considered coincident with WGS 84 at epoch 2015.0 Accuracy 3 cm at 1/1/2015 then degrades by 3 cm/yr from 1/1/2015 depending upon epoch of WGS 84 due to motion of the Nubian Plate
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert SHGD2015 to WGS 84 coordinates?
Use the coordinate transformation tool above to convert SHGD2015 (EPSG:7886) 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 SHGD2015 to WGS 84 using Proj4js?
Use proj4.defs to define both EPSG:7886 and EPSG:4326, then call proj4(source, target, [x, y]) to convert coordinates programmatically.
What is the accuracy of the SHGD2015 to WGS 84 transformation?
This transformation (EPSG:7892) has an accuracy of 1m using the Geocentric translations (geog2D domain) method. Area of use: St Helena - St Helena Island.
