NGS has developed new capabilities for its online surveying software, OPUS-Projects. First, new tools are provided that streamline the adjustment and submission of GPS data for publication, leading to the updating of coordinates on NGS datasheets. These tools automatically create a set of complex files following the FGCS Bluebook, and provide improved display of results through an interactive interface. Second, beta tools are being developed to enable uploading of previously processed GPS vectors, including from Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) techniques, for inclusion in the survey network for adjustment and publication.
