Official EPSG transformations from American Samoa 1962 to NAD83(HARN)

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 3 transformations between American Samoa 1962 (EPSG:4169) and NAD83(HARN) (EPSG:4152). Each applies to a specific area — pick the one whose area of use covers your data.

American Samoa 1962 to NAD83(HARN) (1)

EPSG:1578±5 mBest accuracy
Method:
NADCON
Area of use:
American Samoa - Tutuila island
Scope:
Geodesy.

Grid files: wshpgn.laswshpgn.los

NADCON method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs American Samoa 1962 and NAD83(HARN) (codes 4169 and 4152) have longitudes positive east. NADCON expects latitudes in northern hemisphere and values must be made positive prior to input.

American Samoa 1962 to NAD83(HARN) (2)

EPSG:1579±5 m
Method:
NADCON
Area of use:
American Samoa - Ofu, Olesega and Ta'u islands
Scope:
Geodesy.

Grid files: eshpgn.laseshpgn.los

NADCON method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs American Samoa 1962 and NAD83(HARN) (codes 4169 and 4152) have longitudes positive east. NADCON expects latitudes in northern hemisphere and values must be made positive prior to input.

American Samoa 1962 to NAD83(HARN) (3)

EPSG:8662±5 m
Method:
NADCON5 (2D)
Area of use:
American Samoa - 2 main island groups
Scope:
Geodesy.

Grid files: nadcon5.as62.nad83_1993.as.lat.trn.20160901.bnadcon5.as62.nad83_1993.as.lon.trn.20160901.b

Uses NADCON5 method which expects longitudes positive east in range 0-360°; EPSG source and target CRSs have longitudes positive east in range -180° to +180°.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting American Samoa 1962 to NAD83(HARN)?
The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±5 m within its stated area of use. Browser-based converters approximate datum shifts with Helmert parameters; for surveying-grade work apply the official transformation (including the grid-shift files listed below) in a desktop GIS.
Does my data leave the browser when I use this converter?
No. All coordinate transformations are computed locally in your browser using proj4js. The coordinates you enter are never transmitted to any server.
