EEA reference grid

Topics: ,
The grid is based on the recommendation at the 1st European Workshop on Reference Grids in 2003 and later INSPIRE geographical grid systems. For Europe and each country three vector polygon grid shape files, 1, 10 and 100 km, are available. For full Europe the 1 km vector grid is excluded for size reasons. The grids cover at least country borders and, where applicable, marine Exclusive Economic Zones v2.0, www.vliz.be/vmdcdata/marbound. Note that the extent of the grid into the marine area does not reflect the extent of the territorial waters.
This is the latest published version. See older versions.

Methodology:

The reference grids are based on ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection with parameters: latitude of origin 52° N, longitude of origin 10° E, false northing 3 210 000.0 m, false easting 4 321 000.0 m. The grid origin is at 0 m N, 0 m E.
