LINZ Sets Strategic Direction for Geodetic System
LINZ has released its Positioning Strategy, setting the direction for how the geodetic system will be developed over the next 10 years. Chief geodesist Graeme Blick says the strategy will make sure that the Geodetic Office works to support changing developments in satellite-based positioning technology and new ways of using location information.
LINZ provides New Zealand’s positioning or geodetic infrastructure through its network of survey marks, continuously operating Global Navigation Satellite System stations, and through systems such as the national geodetic datum. All are vital tools for ensuring the accurate measurement and location of New Zealand’s physical features.
The Positioning Strategy is available on the Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) website.
