+Black Dog Trackers Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi cloudyboy - Here is the place to log Canadian benchmarks. Have fun! Quote Link to comment
majormajor42 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 While on the subject of benchmarking in other countries... I was in Puerto Rico, which is part of the U.S. I know but is listed as another country on this website, and did some caching. I was in the rain forest, which doesn't have caches, and lo and behold, I was standing over a benchmark. I took a photo of it. I can't seem to find it on this website or on Waymarking either. I skimmed throught the benchmarking FAQ page and saw no mention of benchmarking in other countries or territories for that matter. Quote Link to comment
+Black Dog Trackers Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 majormajor42 - In Waymarking, the contributors make the database. (There are some online databases that can be used, including those in other countries.) In the case of Puerto Rico, that would count as the U.S., and if you have both a closeup photo and its coordinates, you an log your find in the US Benchmark Waymarking category. Currently there are only 6 countries that have Waymarking categories so far: U.S., Canada, UK/Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Australia. There is also a Europe category of benchmarks that has entries from Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Germany, and Sweden! Other country categories await creation by users. The mention of just one benchmark category in other country, Canada, is mentioned in the FAQ here. Quote Link to comment
NGS Surveyor Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Survey marks in Puerto Rico and other U.S. Territories are in the on-line National Geodetic Survey database at: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/datasheet.prl . GeorgeL NGS Quote Link to comment
