GPS·H Online Computation

GPS·H allows GPS users to convert their ellipsoidal heights (h) in either NAD83(CSRS) or ITRF/WGS84 to orthometric heights H (heights above mean sea level) by applying at each location a geoid height N derived from a geoid model (or Height Transformation).

Depending on the application, either a geoid model (CGG05 is the latest) or the HT2.0 "Height Transformation" can be used. Several GPS and GIS software packages can also read geoid models to produce orthometric heights.

Note: the online version currently can only apply the HT2.0 height transformation.  The GPS·H software download also comes with HT2.0 as a default but it can read other geoid models as well. Users can request from CSRS via email the CGG05 (latest) or CGG2000 geoid models.
