+Sandrich Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Hi there! Down south, in the states, we are trtying to get all the National geodectic Survey Benchamarks into our database. So far, the U.S.A. has given us all the information they can. Unfortunetly, the Canadian goverment has not. Can any of you good Geocachers in Canada get the coordinates of the NGS Benchmarks in your country? If so, we can add them to the database!Or, do you any of you know where I can look online? Please let me know, thanx! Team Sandrich jamiewrich@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment
boreal jeff & sons Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Is this what you are thinking about http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=17841 If not, the links on this page might get you to where you want to go. Every hour spent geocaching is added to the end of your life Quote Link to comment
+mrcpu Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Database access for these things is available but limited. You need to print out a form, mail it in, and they will give you access. Cheers, Rob Mobile Cache Command Quote Link to comment
+Couparangus Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Here's a link for some benchmarks. http://www2.geod.nrcan.gc.ca/~marc/Html/Data/GPSBM.html Near as I can tell, on the old topo maps the benchmarks, noted as "BM1234" etc., are just vertical levels at that concrete bridge or culvert at that particular location - and there isn't any plate or triangle marker.
