Improvement and extension of ETRS 89 in Latvia and Lithuania based on the NKG 2003 GPS campaign
The present ETRS 89 realisations in Latvia and Lithuania are based on the EUREF‐BAL'92 campaign, which has an estimated accuracy of the same level as the original EUREF 89 campaign (class C). Latvia and Lithuania wish to replace their EUREF‐BAL'92 realisation with an ETRS 89 realisation ba...

The present ETRS 89 realisations in Latvia and Lithuania are based on the EUREF‐BAL'92 campaign, which has an estimated accuracy of the same level as the original EUREF 89 campaign (class C). Latvia and Lithuania wish to replace their EUREF‐BAL'92 realisation with an ETRS 89 realisation based on the NKG 2003 GPS campaign.
