New Maps, Dashboards Introduced for Crowdsourced GPS Data

Friday May 22, 2020

NGS has released new maps and dashboards for exploring crowdsourced data in the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), the nation's coordinate system. Through the NGS Online Positioning User Service (OPUS), people can upload survey-grade GPS data. The OPUS Share Monthly Map and the OPUS Shared Solutions Dashboard lets users explore these data interactively. The GPS on Bench Marks for the Transformation Tool Dashboard tracks the campaign to improve the NSRS via crowdsourced data. The GEOID18 Web Map allows users to explore the crowdsourced GPS on Bench Mark observations used to create GEOID18, NGS's latest hybrid geoid model. The new tools allow users of the NGS crowdsourced data systems to improve their efforts by providing visual maps of where the crowdsourced data has been collected and when or how often the campaigns were conducted.
