About converting WGS 84 to Amersfoort / RD New
Converting from WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) to Amersfoort / RD New (EPSG:28992) is the standard transformation for working with Dutch national datasets — Kadaster, BAG, BGT and almost every Dutch government GIS layer.
The Netherlands publishes an official grid-based transformation, RDNAPTRANS™, that achieves a few-centimetre accuracy by accounting for distortions in the historical RD network. Browser tools approximate the conversion with a Helmert seven-parameter transformation, accurate to roughly 1 m. Adequate for visualisation, not for cadastre or property-boundary work.
Why people convert EPSG:4326 to EPSG:28992
- Imports into Dutch Kadaster and BAG records
- Aligning GPS data with BGT large-scale topographic data
- Local-authority GIS in the Netherlands
- Hydrographic data within Dutch waters

Frequently asked questions
- Why is my RD New result a metre off from the Kadaster?
- The Netherlands uses RDNAPTRANS™ — an official grid-based transformation accurate to centimetres. Browser-based Helmert approximations introduce ~1 m error. For cadastre use a desktop tool with RDNAPTRANS™ installed.
- How accurate is converting WGS 84 to Amersfoort / RD New?
- Projection-only conversions are accurate to floating-point precision. If a datum shift is involved, browser-based tools use Helmert parameters which are accurate to roughly 1-5 m; for surveying-grade work apply the official grid-shift 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.
