EPSG:5174 Korean 1985 / Modified Central Belt
Projected system (Transverse Mercator) in use: Korea, Republic of (South Korea) - 126°E to 128°E mainland. 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.
