January 12, 2023  |  2:00-3:30 pm, ET

Presenters: Jeff Jalbrzikowski, Apalachian Regional Advisor, Geodetic Services Division, and Dan Gillins, Ph.D, Geodesist, Observation and Analysis Division, NGS

NGS is keeping the door open for GPS on Bench Mark data to be submitted for use in improving the NAVD 88 - NAPGD 2022 transformation tool through September 2023. This extension gives users an opportunity to collect observations on many more marks and take advantage of significant savings in field time by using Real Time Networks (RTN) and NGS’ new Beta OPUS Projects 5. 

NGS now supports the use of RTN data in control survey projects using the new standardized vector file format called GVX. This webinar will describe recommended field and office workflows specifically for collecting and submitting GPSonBM data using an RTN, from setting up the rover to exporting and and loading GVX files, and using the quality control and adjustment tools inside of OPUS Projects 5.
