At a meeting of the Civil GPS Service Interface Committee (CGSIC), several NGS scientists described the significant upcoming changes for the surveying, mapping, and geosciences community with modernization of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) in 2022. The modernized NSRS will be founded primarily on Global Navigation Stellite Systems, such as GPS, as well as an updated and time-tracked geoid model. The CGSIC is the recognized worldwide forum for effective interaction between all civil GPS users and U.S. GPS authorities.
