Reference frame LV03 (National survey 03)

National surveying 1903 (in the old reference system CH1903): Reference frame based on the triangulation 1st - 3rd order .These were established beginning in 1903 and regularly renewed and updated. The official heights are determined from the reference frame LN02. The densification by 4th order triangulation networks and other control networks of cadastral surveying is still the basis for most surveying activities, maps, plans and GIS. The accuracy between neighboring points is within centimeters. However, the existing distortions (up to 1.6 m) allow only limited absolute positioning in Switzerland. Direct coordinate transformation LV95 <-> LV03 is guaranteed by "CHENxy06" dataset all over Switzerland with a average precision of +/- 3 cm.
