   Although many papers on NAVD 88 exist, no single document serves as the official defining document for that datum. The definition of NAVD 88 uses the Helmert orthometric height, which calculates the location of the geoid (which approximates MSL) from modeled local gravity.

   What is the difference between NAVD88 and vdatum?

   • These transformations require software to transform into different vertical datums. The NAVD88 is a correction of thousands of control points of elevation datum. VDatum is a free tool by NOAA to transform data among a variety of tidal, orthometric, and ellipsoidal vertical datums.

   Are NAD 83 and NAVD 88 non-geocentric?

   • NAD 83 and NAVD 88, although still the official horizontal and vertical datums of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), have been identified as having shortcomings that are best addressed through defining new horizontal and vertical datums. Specifically: NAD 83 is non-geocentric by about 2.2 meters.

   What is the difference between navd29 and NAVD88?

   • Differences between NAVD29 and NAVD88 can range from three feet or more in the Rocky Mountains where gravitational forces are high… to a couple of inches in other areas. A vertical coordinate transformation isn’t a simple plug-in-play formula. These transformations require software to transform into different vertical datums.

   A vertical datum is a reference system used for specifying elevation of specific points on the Earth's surface. Vertical datums broadly come in two categories: Three-dimensional datums: those are defined by using a reference ellipsoid and six geocentric parameters expressing origin, and orientation. Unlike a horizontal datum, a three ...
