About converting NAD83 to WGS 84

Converting from NAD83 (EPSG:4269) to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) is the conversion used to harmonise U.S. federal datasets — Census TIGER, USGS NHD, NLCD land cover, FEMA flood maps — with global GPS-derived data.

NAD83 was originally aligned with ITRF at epoch 1986. Since then the North American plate has drifted ~1.5 m south-west relative to ITRF, so modern WGS 84 (which tracks ITRF) and NAD83 differ by a measurable amount. For most visualisation use the difference is invisible; for survey-grade work it must be modelled with a Helmert transformation against the appropriate NAD83 realisation (NAD83(2011), EPSG:6318, gives the tightest fit).

This converter performs the standard Helmert-based shift, accurate to a few centimetres for the modern epoch.

Why people convert EPSG:4269 to EPSG:4326

  • Aligning U.S. federal data with GPS readings
  • Importing USGS, Census or USDA datasets into web maps
  • Cross-checking commercial GPS data against NAD83-tagged sources

Frequently asked questions

Are NAD83 and WGS 84 the same?
They were near-identical in 1986 but have diverged by 1-2 m due to North American plate motion. Treat them as different datums for any sub-metre work.
Should I use EPSG:4269 or EPSG:6318 as my NAD83 source?
EPSG:6318 is NAD83(2011) — the most recent realisation with centimetre-level accuracy. EPSG:4269 is the generic 'NAD83' code; many federal datasets are still tagged this way.
How accurate is converting NAD83 to WGS 84?
The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±1.5 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.
