Geo What ? Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

onecrazycanadian: Hi 2figs

In your last note you indicated that the cache would be enabled when spring arrived. Since the cache has remained disabled over the summer and fall I cannot let it go any longer. Consequently I am archiving the cache at this time as I cannot let it remain disabled any longer.

Thanks

Geocache Description:

The Canadian Base Network


With a new focus on positioning from space, Geodetic Survey has created a dynamic infrastructure to serve both present and future needs for positioning. The Canadian Base Network(CBN) is designed to serve as the new ground segment of monumented survey control in the Canadian Spatial Reference System . The CBN is a network of pillar monuments with forced-centring plates, positioned three-dimensionally with GPS to centimetre-level accuracy with respect to the Canadian Active Control System . The network consists of an array of pillars at an average spacing of 200 km in the built-up areas of southern Canada, 500 km in the middle regions of Canada, and 1000 km in the northern areas. As well as being a GPS control network, the Canadian Base Network can serve as a monitoring network for deformation studies of the Canadian landmass. The information for each marker includes Geographic and UTM co-ordinates, orthometric heights, marker information and inspection data.
