The GDA94 Technical Manual is principally designed to explain all facets of the new Geocentric Datum of Australia, and continues the tradition of providing complete formulae and worked examples - now in computer spreadsheets. To cater for the enormous changes which have taken place since The Australian Geodetic Datum Technical Manual was published, the chapters once the geoid and coordinate transformation have been expanded. A brief history of Australian coordinates has also been included.
