Height transformation example points

Examples of the transformations between different vertical datums and height systems.

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

Converting data between vertical datums our online coordinate converter or the vertical datum conversion form.
