Projection transformation example points

Example transformations for each of the projections used in New Zealand.

The following tables provide examples of the transformation of points between the various projections used within New Zealand. These can be used to verify that a coordinate transformation has been performed correctly.

Our online coordinate converter also gives examples of the expected input data based on options selected.

Transverse Mercator

These points provide examples of coordinate transformations between New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000 (NZGD2000) and New Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000 (NZTM2000).
