    Description

    This data is a subset of the original National Geodetic Survey (NGS) data that includes only locations within Volusia County, FL.This data contains a set of geodetic control stations maintained by the National Geodetic Survey. Each geodetic control station in this dataset has either a precise Latitude/Longitude used for horizontal control or a precise Orthometric Height used for vertical control, or both.The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) serves as the Nation's depository for geodetic data. The NGS distributes geodetic data worldwide to a variety of users. These geodetic data include the final results of geodetic surveys, software programs to format, compute, verify, and adjust original survey observations or to convert values from one geodetic datum to another, and publications that describe how to obtain and use Geodetic Data products and services.Horizontal control stations (those with precise Latitude, Longitude) were established in accordance with FGDC publications "Standards and Specifications for Geodetic Accuracy Standards" and "Geometric Geodetic Accuracy Standards and Specifications for Using GPS Relative Positioning Techniques" The final Latitude, Longitude of these stations were determined by a least squares adjustments of the horizontal observations. Horizontal control station have Latitude, Longitudes displayed to 5 places and are identified by attribute POS_SRCE = 'ADJUSTED'Lesser quality Latitude, Longitudes may also be preset in the dataset. These are identified by a POS_SRCE attributes HD_HELD1, HD_HELD2, or SCALED. These lesser quality positions are described at: https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_lookup.prl?Item=SCALEDVertical control stations (those with precise Orthometric Heights) were established in accordance with FGDC publications "Standards and Specifications for Geodetic Accuracy Standards" The final Orthometric Height of these stations were in most cases determined by a least squares adjustments of the vertical observations but in some cases may have been keyed from old survey documents. Vertical control stations have Orthometric Heights displayed to 2 or 3 places and are identified by attribute ELEV_SRCE of ADJUSTED, ADJ UNCH, POSTED,READJUST,N HEIGHT,RESET,COMPUTEDLesser quality Orthometric Heights may also be preset in the dataset. These are identified by a ELEV_SRCE attributes GPS_OBS, VERT_ANG, H_LEVEL, VERTCON, SCALED. These lesser quality orthometric heights are described at: https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_lookup.prl?Item=SCALEDIMPORTANT - Control stations do not always have both precise Latitude, Longitude AND precise Orthometric Height. A horizontal control station may have a orthometric height associated with it which is of non geodetic quality. These types of heights are displayed to 0, 1, or 2 decimal places. Worst case being off by +/- 1 meter. LIKEWISE - A Vertical control station may have a Latitude, Longitude associated with it which is of non geodetic quality. These types of Latitude, Longitudes are displayed to 0, 1 or 2 decimal places. Worst case being off by +/- 180 meter. Refer to https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_lookup.prl?Item=SCALED for a description of the various type of methods used in determining the Latitude, Longitude, and Orthometric Height.Attribute POS_CHECK and ELEV_CHECK indicate whether or not an observational check was made to the position and/or orthometric height. Care should be taken when using "No Check" coordinates.If attribute ELEV_SRCE = 'VERTCON' then the Orthometric Height was determined by applying NGS program VERTCON to an Old NGVD 29 height. In most areas VERTCON gives results to +/- 2 cm. See https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/TOOLS/Vertcon/vertcon.html for a more detailed explanation of VERTCON accuracy.Ellipsoid Heights are also present in the dataset. The ellipsoid heights consist of those determined using a precise geoid model, which are displayed to 2 decimal places and are considered good to +/- .005 meters, and those displayed to 1 decimal place and are considered only good to +/- .5 metersQuantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:Attribute_Accuracy_Value: 95 percent confidence level for geodetic quality data.Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:Geodetic Data are continuously being processed; their standards and specifications are being reviewed for next publication release. "Standards and Specifications for Geodetic Control Networks", 1984 and "Geometric Geodetic Accuracy Standards and Specifications for Using GPS Relative Positioning Techniques," FGCS (formally FGCC) publication version 5.0 1989, are most current published documents.Logical_Consistency_Report:FGCS sponsored testing in cooperation with equipment manufacturers and National Institutes of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20850Completeness_Report:This dataset DOES NOT include destroyed marks. All other non-publishable marks are NOT included. Non-publishable criteria is available at https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/craigs_lib.prl?HELP_NONPUB=1

    New Zealand,
    Description

    This dataset provides information about the position, position accuracy, mark name, mark type, condition and unique four letter code for geodetic marks in terms of a New Zealand's official geodetic datum.

    The dataset only contains marks that are within the New Zealand mainland and offshore islands. These positions have been generated using geodetic observations such as precise differential GPS or electronic distance and theodolite angles measurements. The positions are either 2D or 3D depending of the availability of this measurement data.

    The source data is from Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand's (LINZ) Landonline system where it is used by Land Surveyors. This dataset is updated daily to reflect changes made in the Landonline.

    Accuracy

    Geodetic marks with a coordinate order of 5 or less have been positioned in terms of NZGD2000. Lower order marks (order 6 and greater) are derived from cadastral surveys, lower accuracy measurement techniques or inaccurate historical datum transformations, and may be significantly less accurate.

    The accuracy of NZGD2000 coordinates is described by a series of 'orders' classifications. Positions in terms of NZGD2000 are described by three-dimensional coordinates (latitude, longitude, ellipsoidal height). The accuracy of a survey mark is indicated by its Order. Orders are classifications based on the quality of the coordinate in relation to the datum and in relation to other surrounding marks. For more information see

    Note that the accuracy applies at the time the mark was last surveyed. Refer to the web geodetic database for historical information about mark coordinates.

    Note also that the existence of a mark in this dataset does not imply that there is currently a physical mark in the ground - the dataset includes destroyed or lost historical marks. The geodetic database provides more information on the mark status, valid at last time it was visited by LINZ or a maintenance contractor.

    Description

    The Geodetic Database contains information on permanent geodetic control marks located in Minnesota or just outside its boundaries. Permanent geodetic control marks are established for the purpose of providing precise horizontal and vertical control positions for the registration of surveying and mapping activities in the local area. Information about the location of an object based on its geodetic location locates that object in a worldwide geographic information system. The marks have unique identification and year established stamped on the monument disk, usually an 89 mm (3.5 inch) diameter brass or aluminum disk. Monuments consist of material (concrete or metal) that is meant to stay in place for 50 to 100 years or more, and have little or no movement due to frost action or activity near the monument. The marks have been established by all levels of government in Minnesota, and they are referenced to the National Geodetic Reference System (NAD 1927, NAD 1983, NGVD 1929, and NAVD 1988). The Federal Government supports monumentation at the state level by providing technical expertise, adjustments of the data, and maintenance of the National Geodetic Reference System through its State Advisor Program.

    Description

    The Geodetic Survey Section within WSDOT has installed and maintains a majority of the primary (Geodetic) survey control used by the Department of Transportation in its ongoing construction and road maintenance programs. As part of this process the Survey Section maintains a Survey-Monuments database. The GIS file is updated nightly and sourced from a SQL database. Updates to the SQL database are irregular but the GIS data will be as recent as the most current version of the SQL database. This data is provided for mapping purposes only. This data does not contain the complete range of attributes and information that are available for each station within the database. If you need the physical geodetic coordinates for a monument, please obtain it from the database.Note: if you need the coordinates for a station for survey work you should use the coordinates shown in the datasheet for the station NOT the coordinates contained in this layer for the feature.This service is maintained by the WSDOT GIS & Roadway Data Office. If you are having trouble viewing the service, please contact OnlineMapSupport@wsdot.wa.gov.

Description

This data is a subset of the original National Geodetic Survey (NGS) data that includes only locations within Volusia County, FL.This data contains a set of geodetic control stations maintained by the National Geodetic Survey. Each geodetic control station in this dataset has either a precise Latitude/Longitude used for horizontal control or a precise Orthometric Height used for vertical control, or both.The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) serves as the Nation's depository for geodetic data. The NGS distributes geodetic data worldwide to a variety of users. These geodetic data include the final results of geodetic surveys, software programs to format, compute, verify, and adjust original survey observations or to convert values from one geodetic datum to another, and publications that describe how to obtain and use Geodetic Data products and services.Horizontal control stations (those with precise Latitude, Longitude) were established in accordance with FGDC publications "Standards and Specifications for Geodetic Accuracy Standards" and "Geometric Geodetic Accuracy Standards and Specifications for Using GPS Relative Positioning Techniques" The final Latitude, Longitude of these stations were determined by a least squares adjustments of the horizontal observations. Horizontal control station have Latitude, Longitudes displayed to 5 places and are identified by attribute POS_SRCE = 'ADJUSTED'Lesser quality Latitude, Longitudes may also be preset in the dataset. These are identified by a POS_SRCE attributes HD_HELD1, HD_HELD2, or SCALED. These lesser quality positions are described at: https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_lookup.prl?Item=SCALEDVertical control stations (those with precise Orthometric Heights) were established in accordance with FGDC publications "Standards and Specifications for Geodetic Accuracy Standards" The final Orthometric Height of these stations were in most cases determined by a least squares adjustments of the vertical observations but in some cases may have been keyed from old survey documents. Vertical control stations have Orthometric Heights displayed to 2 or 3 places and are identified by attribute ELEV_SRCE of ADJUSTED, ADJ UNCH, POSTED,READJUST,N HEIGHT,RESET,COMPUTEDLesser quality Orthometric Heights may also be preset in the dataset. These are identified by a ELEV_SRCE attributes GPS_OBS, VERT_ANG, H_LEVEL, VERTCON, SCALED. These lesser quality orthometric heights are described at: https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_lookup.prl?Item=SCALEDIMPORTANT - Control stations do not always have both precise Latitude, Longitude AND precise Orthometric Height. A horizontal control station may have a orthometric height associated with it which is of non geodetic quality. These types of heights are displayed to 0, 1, or 2 decimal places. Worst case being off by +/- 1 meter. LIKEWISE - A Vertical control station may have a Latitude, Longitude associated with it which is of non geodetic quality. These types of Latitude, Longitudes are displayed to 0, 1 or 2 decimal places. Worst case being off by +/- 180 meter. Refer to https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_lookup.prl?Item=SCALED for a description of the various type of methods used in determining the Latitude, Longitude, and Orthometric Height.Attribute POS_CHECK and ELEV_CHECK indicate whether or not an observational check was made to the position and/or orthometric height. Care should be taken when using "No Check" coordinates.If attribute ELEV_SRCE = 'VERTCON' then the Orthometric Height was determined by applying NGS program VERTCON to an Old NGVD 29 height. In most areas VERTCON gives results to +/- 2 cm. See https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/TOOLS/Vertcon/vertcon.html for a more detailed explanation of VERTCON accuracy.Ellipsoid Heights are also present in the dataset. The ellipsoid heights consist of those determined using a precise geoid model, which are displayed to 2 decimal places and are considered good to +/- .005 meters, and those displayed to 1 decimal place and are considered only good to +/- .5 metersQuantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:Attribute_Accuracy_Value: 95 percent confidence level for geodetic quality data.Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:Geodetic Data are continuously being processed; their standards and specifications are being reviewed for next publication release. "Standards and Specifications for Geodetic Control Networks", 1984 and "Geometric Geodetic Accuracy Standards and Specifications for Using GPS Relative Positioning Techniques," FGCS (formally FGCC) publication version 5.0 1989, are most current published documents.Logical_Consistency_Report:FGCS sponsored testing in cooperation with equipment manufacturers and National Institutes of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20850Completeness_Report:This dataset DOES NOT include destroyed marks. All other non-publishable marks are NOT included. Non-publishable criteria is available at https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/craigs_lib.prl?HELP_NONPUB=1
