The North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) is the vertical datum for orthometric heights established for vertical control surveying in the United States based upon the General Adjustment of the North American Datum of 1988. [1] It superseded the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29), [2] previously known as the Sea Level ...

Note that Wikipedia encourages the use of NAVD 88 and conversions between the two datum can be done using a tool provided by the National Geodetic Survey. The tool is named VERTCON and can be found here. If an elevation is converted to NAVD 88 a citation linking to the source of the original NGVD 29 elevation should be provided, as well as the ...
Vertical measurements, based on distances above or below Mean High Water (MHW), are calculated using the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). [ 1 ] 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, potentially in 2025 .
The system is based on the datums NAD 83 and NAVD 88. [3] In 2024 or 2025, [needs update] the NSRS will be modernized with a focus on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and geoid use. It will use the following four frames of reference, each representing a tectonic plate: [4] [5] North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 (NATRF2022)

In North America elevations are given using either Sea Level Datum of 1929, also called the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) or the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Confusion often occurs when a user sees an elevation value using the newer datum.
VERTCON is a computer program that computes the modeled difference in orthometric height between the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) and the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) for a location in the contiguous United States. [1] The parameters required are the latitude and longitude of the location.
