calculated. Depending on the type of transformation used, details about the map projection,
the local ellipsoid and a local geoidal model may also be needed.
• The control points used for the transformation should surround the area for which the
transformation is to be applied. It is not good practice to survey or convert coordinates
outside of the area covered by the control points as extrapolation errors may be intro-
duced.
• When a geoid field file and/or a CSCS field file is used in the determination of a coordinate
system, the control points for the calculation must fall within the areas of the field files.
Two different methods for determining a coordinate system are available:
