    I don't think that that is the problem here. The differences are
    only a few centimeters, while errsors resulting from missing
    +towgs84 parameters are in the order of 100 meters.<br>

                  1. I would strongly advice to transform everything to
                  wgs84 first.<br>
                </div>
                2. wgs84 and etrs89 are based upon different
                spheroids/datums. Transforming from wgs84 TO etrs89 will
                not be correct if your etrs89 definition does not have
                +towgs84 defined. And by default I believe it isn't.
                Take a look at this ticket: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                  href="http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ticket/15">http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ticket/15</a>
                and see if it is of any help.<br>
              </div>
              <br>
            </div>
            So, what I would do is:<br>
            <br>
          </div>
          epsg:28992 -&gt; wgs84 (visual check) -&gt; etrs89<br>
