Vertical datum conversions from NGVD 29 and NAVD 88


The conversion program VERTCON computes modeled differences in orthometric height between the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) and the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) for a given location specified by latitude and longitude. About 382,000 points throughout the United States were used to compute corrections to the model. The root-mean-squared error was computed to be less than 0.07 ft. The VERTCON program was developed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
