Official EPSG transformation from RGF93 v1 to RGF93 v2

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 1 transformation between RGF93 v1 (EPSG:4171) and RGF93 v2 (EPSG:9777). Its parameters, accuracy and area of use are listed below.

RGF93 v1 to RGF93 v2 (1)

EPSG:9882±0.05 m
Method:
Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)
Area of use:
France
Scope:
Transformation of coordinates at 0.05m level of accuracy.
ParameterValueUnit
X-axis translation(tx)0metre
Y-axis translation(ty)0metre
Z-axis translation(tz)0metre

Maximum differences are 0.1m in both horizontal and vertical. Distortions in RGF93 v1 are irregular and IGN considers that no systematic transformation to the improved v2 adjustment is possible.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting RGF93 v1 to RGF93 v2?
The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±0.05 m within its stated area of use. Browser-based converters approximate datum shifts with Helmert parameters; for surveying-grade work apply the official transformation 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.
