    In the list of supported datums it states that EST97 has an EPSG:6182 which should cover Estonia.

    But EPSG:6182 covers an island off Portugal. Shouldn't the EST97 have EPSG:4180?

    I would actually think that the Estonia 1997 datum would be properly referenced by datum EPSG:6180: https://epsg.io/6180-datum

     

    The geographic coordinate system that uses that datum (and shares the same name) would in fact be EPSG:4180: https://epsg.io/4180

    Hi,

     

    Just checking things - I'm not sure where but I think this is just a typo.

    Even worse I think I introduced it because its also in the developer API - which is the base for the online document.

     

    So the source code docu talks about 6180 as geodetic datum for EST97 - which matches the EPSG registy org (source of truth for our transformations):

     

    And here EPSG Geodetic Parameter Registry :

    You need to select 'Datum' and 'Geodetic datum' in this context to get rid of things that don't matter in this context

     

    And the result:

     

    I assume the documentation on our side is simply wrong in this context - it should be 6180

    So this was just a typo.
