EPSG:2062 Madrid 1870 (Madrid) / Spain LCC
Projected system (Lambert Conic Conformal (1SP)) in use: Spain - mainland onshore. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.
EPSG publishes no simple transformation to WGS 84 for this datum: conversion works on the ellipsoid alone and can be off by tens of metres.
