Official EPSG transformations from ETRS89 to ETRS89 + Baltic 1957 height

The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 2 transformations between ETRS89 (EPSG:4937) and ETRS89 + Baltic 1957 height (EPSG:8360). Each applies to a specific area — pick the one whose area of use covers your data.

ETRS89 to ETRS89 + Baltic 1957 height (1)

EPSG:8361±0.03 mBest accuracy
Method:
Geog3D to Geog2D+GravityRelatedHeight (gtx)
Area of use:
Slovakia
Scope:
Geodesy, GIS.

Grid file: Slovakia_ETRS89h_to_Baltic1957.gtx

Uses ETRS89 (realization ETRF2000) and quasigeoid model DVRM05. 1 sigma = 34 mm (test performed on 563 independent points). Recommended as part of transformation between Baltic 1957 height and EVRF2007 height (see concatenated operation code 8363).

ETRS89 to ETRS89 + Baltic 1957 height (2)

EPSG:10568±0.03 m
Method:
Geog3D to Geog2D+GravityRelatedHeight (gtx)
Area of use:
Czechia
Scope:
Reversible geoid model transformation.

Grid file: CR2005_GTX.gtx

Reversible alternative to ETRS89 to Baltic 1957 height (2) (code 10567).

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting ETRS89 to ETRS89 + Baltic 1957 height?
The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±0.03 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.
