Geodetic context in Denmark

Denmark's national mapping agency maintains the official geodetic network used for cadastral and engineering surveys. Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in Denmark you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
