The following are the list of supported local datums and their
relationship to the earth-centred ellipsoid WGS84 used by the GPS
(Global Positioning Satellite) system.Non-negative Datums will use the documented offsets. The following list is derived from the datum file included with the U.S. MADTRAN (MApping Datum TRANsform) software based on:
"Department of Defense World Geodetic System 1984, 3rd Ed (NIMA TR 8350.2-B)", July 4, 1997.(Note, "D800" (Normal Sphere) is an addition to the list.)
