EPSG:3035 — ETRS89-extended / LAEA Europe

Source: EPSG Dataset via PROJ 9.5.1 · Updated

Summary

EPSG:3035 (ETRS89-extended / LAEA Europe) is a projected coordinate reference system on the European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 ensemble datum using the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area method, with coordinates in metres. Area of use: Europe - European Union (EU) countries and candidates. The datum is an ensemble with about 0.1 m accuracy, so precise work should name a specific realization.

  • Type: projected
  • Datum: European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 ensemble

A PROJ string cannot carry every EPSG detail (axis order, datum ensemble, transformations). Prefer WKT2 or the EPSG code itself.

Datum shift from ETRS89 to WGS 84 (1) (EPSG accuracy 1 m), the best single Helmert operation for this area of use. Where PROJ prefers a grid-based or multi-step operation (see the table above), results can differ by up to that operation's accuracy.

FAQ

What is EPSG:3035?

EPSG:3035 (ETRS89-extended / LAEA Europe) is a projected coordinate reference system on the European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 ensemble datum using the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area method, with coordinates in metres. Area of use: Europe - European Union (EU) countries and candidates. The datum is an ensemble with about 0.1 m accuracy, so precise work should name a specific realization.

Where can EPSG:3035 be used?

Its area of use is: Europe - European Union (EU) countries and candidates. Europe - onshore and offshore: Albania; Andorra; Austria; Belgium; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bulgaria; Croatia; Cyprus; Czechia; Denmark; Estonia; Faroe Islands; Finland; France; Germany; Gibraltar; Greece; Hungary; Iceland; Ireland; Italy; Kosovo; Latvia; Liechtenstein; Lithuania; Luxembourg; Malta; Monaco; Montenegro; Netherlands; North Macedonia; Norway including Svalbard and Jan Mayen; Poland; Portugal including Madeira and Azores; Romania; San Marino; Serbia; Slovakia; Slovenia; Spain including Canary Islands; Sweden; Switzerland; Türkiye (Turkey); United Kingdom (UK) including Channel Islands and Isle of Man; Vatican City State.

Is EPSG:3035 in metres or degrees?

EPSG:3035 is projected, so coordinates are northing and easting in metres, not degrees.

How do I convert EPSG:3035 to latitude and longitude?

Transform from EPSG:3035 to EPSG:4326 (WGS 84). In GeoCAD Bridge open the coordinate converter with EPSG:3035 preselected, enter easting and northing, and choose WGS 84 as the target.

How accurate is the transformation from EPSG:3035 to WGS 84?

The most accurate EPSG transformation listed here is “axis order change (2D) + ETRS89 to WGS 84 (1) + axis order change (2D)”, with a stated accuracy of 1 m for Europe - onshore and offshore: Albania; Andorra; Austria; Belgium; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bulgaria; Croatia; Czechia; Denmark; Estonia; Faroe Islands; Finland; France; Germany; Gibraltar; Greece; Hungary; Ireland; Italy; Kosovo; Latvia; Liechtenstein; Lithuania; Luxembourg; Malta; Moldova; Monaco; Montenegro; Netherlands; North Macedonia; Norway including Svalbard and Jan Mayen; Poland; Portugal - mainland; Romania; San Marino; Serbia; Slovakia; Slovenia; Spain - mainland and Balearic islands; Sweden; Switzerland; United Kingdom (UK) including Channel Islands and Isle of Man; Vatican City State..
