Official EPSG transformation from Vanua Levu 1915 to WGS 84

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 1 transformation between Vanua Levu 1915 (EPSG:4748) and WGS 84 (EPSG:4326). Its parameters, accuracy and area of use are listed below.

Vanua Levu 1915 to WGS 84 (1)

EPSG:15878±50 m

Method:: Geocentric translations (geog2D domain)
Area of use:: Fiji - Vanua Levu and Taveuni
Scope:: (null/copy) Approximation for medium and low accuracy applications assuming equality between plate-fixed static and earth-fixed dynamic CRSs, ignoring static/dynamic CRS differences.

Parameter	Value	Unit
X-axis translation(tx)	51	metre
Y-axis translation(ty)	391	metre
Z-axis translation(tz)	-36	metre

Parameter values taken from Viti Levu 1912 to WGS 84 (1) (tfm code 15897). Approximation at the +/- 50m level assuming that CRS 4748 is equivalent to CRS 4752 within the transformation accuracy. Source CRSs 4748 and 4752 are independent but connected.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting Vanua Levu 1915 to WGS 84?: The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±50 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.
