Swissgrild CH1903 is off by up to 3 meters (does not use data set of local corrections ) — at Initial Version

Description

To calculate CH1903, 2 steps are required:

(1) WSG84 -> CH1903+ (using a formula)

(2) CH1903+ -> CH1903 (using a grid / triangulation file)

Step (1) if fully implemented. However step (2) is missing. It introduces corrections of up to 3 meters (plus false easting/northing of 2000000/1000000) and accounts for the historical deviations from the modern system.

To fix this, we could:

  • Use the "official" triangulation file and FINELTRA algorithm.
  • Use the NTv2 grid file provided by swisstopo. This is an approximation, but should be in general good enough for osm use.
