Low Distortion Zones (WISCRS) l Plan A – WISCRS, as is. – Discovery Team

Low Distortion Zones (WISCRS) l Plan A – WISCRS, as is. – Discovery Team vision (August, 2018). – TFG charge, objectives, milestones (approved February, 2019). l Plan B – WISCRS with modified false northings and false eastings. – Selected at June 19, 2019 TFG and focus group leads meeting. – Preliminary work has been done.

Low Distortion Zones (WISCRS) l Plan C – WISCRS with false northings and eastings

Low Distortion Zones (WISCRS) l Plan C – WISCRS with false northings and eastings that absorb datums shifts to NATRF 2022 and perhaps scale factor that absorbs Survey feet to International feet. – Briefly discussed at June 19 meeting. – Discussion without depth or advocacy. l Plan D – Complete redesign using data and tools not available in either 1995 (WCCS) or 2005 (WISCRS). – Might be able to reduce number of zones (no guarantee). – Might be able to meet more NGS specifications (no guarantee).

NAPGD 2022 l Considerations: – Versioning and time-dependency. – Legacy, on-going project, and future

NAPGD 2022 l Considerations: – Versioning and time-dependency. – Legacy, on-going project, and future vertical control. – Legacy, on-going project, and future topographic maps and surface models (e. g. , TINs and DEMs). – Regulatory and administrative maps. – Navigation systems (aerial, marine, terrestrial). – More…….

NAPGD 2022 l Questions: – How deep should WSRS 2022 Task Force go with

NAPGD 2022 l Questions: – How deep should WSRS 2022 Task Force go with this (i. e. , scope)? – What are the roles of each Focus Group?

My Left U. S. Survey Foot l NGS wants to make the U. S.

My Left U. S. Survey Foot l NGS wants to make the U. S. Survey Foot go away in favor of the International Foot. – Have NIST adopt International Foot standard after notice in Federal Register. l 2 ppm (0. 01 ft per mile) difference. – Negligible for most project-based distances. – Not negligible when using coordinates over larger extents.

My Left U. S. Survey Foot l Long history about two different foot measures

My Left U. S. Survey Foot l Long history about two different foot measures being used in the U. S. l Confusion will prevail unless the geospatial community understands and plans well. l There are legal issues: – Cadastral surveying and mapping / property conveyancing. – Wisconsin has legislation that specifies the U. S. Survey Foot. l How to best address this issue?
