EPSG:4517 CGCS2000 / 3-degree Gauss-Kruger zone 29
Projected system (Transverse Mercator) in use: China - 85.5°E to 88.5°E. 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.
