Official EPSG transformation from Reunion 1947 to RGR92

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 1 transformation between Reunion 1947 (EPSG:4626) and RGR92 (EPSG:4627). Its parameters, accuracy and area of use are listed below.

Reunion 1947 to RGR92 (1)

EPSG:1926±0.1 m

Method:: Position Vector transformation (geog2D domain)
Area of use:: Reunion - onshore
Scope:: Transformation of coordinates at 0.1m level of accuracy.

Parameter	Value	Unit
X-axis translation(tx)	789.524	metre
Y-axis translation(ty)	-626.486	metre
Z-axis translation(tz)	-89.904	metre
X-axis rotation(rx)	0.6006	arc-second
Y-axis rotation(ry)	76.7946	arc-second
Z-axis rotation(rz)	-10.5788	arc-second
Scale difference(ds)	-32.3241	parts per million

Note: Because of the large rotation about the Y-axis this transformation is not reversible. Errors of up to 0.5m may occur. For the reverse transformation use RGR92 to Reunion 1947 [alias Piton des Neiges] (1) (code 1964).

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting Reunion 1947 to RGR92?: The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±0.1 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.
