Area of use:
Canada - onshore
Scope:
Spatial referencing.

Grid file: NAD83v70VG.gvb

Replaces NAD83(CSRS)v2 to NAD83(CSRS)v4 (3) (code 10521). Replaced by NAD83(CSRS)v2 to NAD83(CSRS)v4 (5) (code 10708).

NAD83(CSRS)v2 to NAD83(CSRS)v4 (5)

EPSG:10708±0.015 m
Method:
Geographic3D Offset using NEU velocity grid (NTv2_Vel)
Area of use:
Canada - onshore
Scope:
Spatial referencing.

Grid file: NAD83v80VG.gvb

Replaces NAD83(CSRS)v2 to NAD83(CSRS)v4 (3) (code 10522).

NAD83(CSRS)v2 to NAD83(CSRS)v4 (3)

EPSG:10521±0.02 m
Method:
Geographic3D Offset using NEU velocity grid (NTv2_Vel)
Area of use:
Canada - onshore south of 60°N
Scope:
Change of coordinate epoch in 3-dimensions (φλh).

Grid file: NAD83v6VG.gvb

The v6 velocity grid is not recommended for height transformation north of 60°N due to due to inaccuracies in the vertical component of the velocity model. Replaced by NAD83(CSRS)v2 to NAD83(CSRS)v4 (4) (code 10522).

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is converting NAD83(CSRS)v2 to NAD83(CSRS)v4?
The most accurate official EPSG transformation between these systems is accurate to about ±0.015 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.
