Costa Rica
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.
ParameterValueUnit
X-axis translation(tx)-0.16959metre
Y-axis translation(ty)0.35312metre
Z-axis translation(tz)0.51846metre
X-axis rotation(rx)-0.03385arc-second
Y-axis rotation(ry)0.16325arc-second

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting CR05 to WGS 84?
The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±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.
