Does google earth use nad83?
Google can display coordinates in UTM, even a basic grid, but it’s still WGS84 – Google Earth can’t be switched to NAD83. Google uses its own custom projection. The globe is just rendered as a camera looking at a sphere.
The heights on google earth refer to EGM96 and are, therefore, Geoidal heights. The lat/long are referred to the WGS 84 ellipsoid. Simply so, is Google Earth in nad83 or nad27? Geodetic Datums: NAD83 versus NAD27 One of the primary difference is that NAD83 uses an Earth-centered reference, rather than a fixed station in NAD27.
Is NAD83 geocentric?
However, NAD83 is not geocentric with an offset of about two meters. North American Datum of 1983 is based on the reference ellipsoid GRS80 which is physically larger than NAD27’s Clarke ellipsoid. The GRS80 reference ellipsoid has a semi-major axis of 6,378,137.0 meters and a semi-minor axis of 6,356,752.3 meters.
Wikipedia says, “The internal coordinate system of Google Earth is geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) on the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) datum.” WGS84 is the standard. NAD83 and WGS84 are similar enough to each other that you can use one or the other. Thank you very much. This will work .
