Transformations to WGS 84

Candidate operations from the EPSG Dataset, best first as ranked by PROJ.
Operation	Accuracy	Area of use
axis order change (2D) + PSD93 to WGS 84 (1) + axis order change (2D)	0.5 m	Oman - onshore. Includes Musandam and the Kuria Muria (Al Hallaniyah) islands.
axis order change (2D) + PSD93 to WGS 72 (1) + WGS 72 to WGS 84 (1) + axis order change (2D)	3.2 m	Oman - onshore. Includes Musandam and the Kuria Muria (Al Hallaniyah) islands.
axis order change (2D) + PSD93 to WGS 84 (3) + axis order change (2D)	0.5 m	Oman - block 4.

Transformations change the datum, so each has an accuracy and an area of use. Choose the most accurate one that covers your data and record its name. See datum transformations.

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

Proj4js definition used by the converter

+proj=longlat +a=6378249.145 +rf=293.465 +towgs84=-180.624,-225.516,173.919,-0.81,-1.898,8.336,16.71006 +no_defs

Datum shift from PSD93 to WGS 84 (1) (EPSG accuracy 0.5 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.
