also:- "The USNG is not applicable to surveying. This standard does not attempt to replace the State Plane Coordinate Systems (SPCS) established by the National Geodetic Survey specifically for field surveying. The SPCS is specifically designed to meet the requirements of surveyors and engineers in determining location and boundaries and most states mandate its use by law especially for cadastral surveys. The USNG does not address those needs. SPCS coordinates can be readily converted to USNG grid coordinates for subsequent use within the NSDI."

The NSDI encompasses policies, standards, and procedures for organizations to cooperatively produce and share geographic data. The 17 federal agencies that make up the FGDC are developing the NSDI in cooperation with organizations from state, local and tribal governments, the academic community, and the private sector."

The message below describes public utilities but I don't think that it is under any federal jurisdiction so that could be one reason why things are done in wombat. alfred -----Original Message----- From: Carter, Baron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 07, 2001 9:14 AM To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:12680] RE: [Fwd: ] GPS surveying in Vermont USNG is metric I thought, or is certainly going that way:- http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/status/usng.html http://www.xyproject.org/ Baron Carter -----Original Message----- From: Gregory Peterson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 07 May, 2001 09:43 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:12679] [Fwd: ] GPS surveying in Vermont A friend of mine from Ontario sent me this message.
