GPS, TRANSFORMATION PARAMETERS, GEODETIC CONTROLS, COORDINATE SYSTEMS

TO STRENTHEN GEODETIC REFERENCE FRAME FOR SURVEYING.

My country Tanzania has many coordinate systems. These varry from Tanaganyika Traverse Mercator(TTM), Universal Traverse Mercartor(UTM-Clarke (ARC60), Township Coordinate Systems and many other established by Magnetic compass with assumed coordinates and many others computed in plane rectangular coordinates and do not take into account the spherical surface of tthe earths surface.

We are now establishing a new Geodetic ccontrol points established using GPS and tied to International Terresrial Referencew Frame(ITRF). We have established Four Continuous Global Positioning Satellite Observatrion Stationa(CORS), Zero Order, First Order and Second Order point distributed allover the country.

What is the best desired tranformation process to use to get transformation parameters for the different systems to  WGS84 Reference System, a geocentric system?

How to Utilize Surveyor Forums

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
