The North American Datum (NAD) is the horizontal datum now used to define the geodetic network in North America. A datum is a formal description of the shape of the Earth along with an "anchor" point for the coordinate system. In surveying, cartography, and land-use planning, two North American Datums are in use for making lateral or "horizontal" measurements: the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). Both are geodetic reference systems based on slightly different assumptions and measurements.

  • Das North American Datum (NAD) ist das gemeinsame Bezugssystem für die Landesvermessung der Staaten Nord- und Zentralamerikas. Geschichtlich bedingt unterscheidet man zwischen dem mittels klassischer Triangulationsverfahren begründeten North American Datum von 1927 (NAD 27) (mit einem auf der Erdoberfläche vermarkten Fundamentalpunkt) und dem moderneren mittels Satellitengeodäsie aufgebauten North American Datum von 1983 (NAD 83) (mit einem geozentrischen Ursprung).

Both are geodetic reference systems based on slightly different assumptions and measurements. Vertical measurements, based on distances above or below Mean High Water (MHW), are calculated using the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). NAD 83, along with NAVD 88, is set to be replaced with a new GPS- and gravimetric geoid model-based geometric reference frame and geopotential datum in 2022. (en)
