NAD83-98.gsb
Uses NT method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD83 (code 4269) and NAD83(CSRS) (code 4617) have longitudes positive east. Can be taken as an approximate transformation NAD83 to WGS 84 - see code 1696. Geodetic Service of Quebec. Contact

Engineering survey, topographic mapping.
Replaces NAD27 / UTM zone 8N. For accuracies better than 1m replaced by NAD83(CSRS) / UTM zone 8N in Canada and NAD83(NSRS2007) / UTM zone 8N in US.
Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (E,N). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
