ENGD is an acronym that stands for English National Grid Datum. It refers to a geodetic datum used primarily in Great Britain to define the reference point and parameters for surveying and cartographic purposes. A geodetic datum is a framework that establishes a consistent coordinate system for locating positions on the Earth's surface.
The English National Grid Datum was established by the Ordnance Survey, the national mapping agency of Great Britain. It uses the Transverse Mercator projection as its coordinate system, dividing the country into grid squares that are each 500 kilometers in size. The datum's reference point is located at a specific latitude and longitude coordinate in the town of Newlyn, Cornwall.
ENGD is a critical component in various applications, such as land surveying, mapping, navigation, and geographic information systems. It provides a standard reference for geospatial data, allowing different datasets to be integrated and accurately aligned.
By using the English National Grid Datum, surveyors and cartographers can ensure consistency and compatibility in their work across different regions of Great Britain. It enables the precise positioning of features on maps, determination of distances and areas, as well as facilitating the sharing and analysis of geospatial data.
