Survey Data - National Geodetic Survey 2000 The
FEDS are coming !!! The FEDS are coming !!
It’s true. National Geodetic Survey is coming back to Maine in
July. As you may be aware, NGS is coming back to Maine to re-observe
the Federal Base Network (FBN) and they are looking for as many
people to co-observe the GPS points as possible. According to NGS,
there are 16 FBN sites throughout Maine. It is their intention
to observe all 16 sites and additional tide stations throughout
Maine while they are here. The folks at NGS have extended an invitation
to Maine DOT to incorporate additional sites to the list to increase
the number of points in the Cooperative Base Network (CBN). We
hope to take them up on their offer and add approximately 80 points
from the MDOT HARN into the network. We realize that this will
make for additional work but we feel that the benefits will be
worth it. We here at Maine DOT and the folks at NGS hope that you
will join us in this endeavor and take advantage of learning the
ins and outs of creating and observing high accuracy reference
points and improving the ellipsoid data here in our great state.
I realize that many of you have questions and I will try to answer
some of them here.
