Can NGS give me the UTM zone or state plane coordinate zone name of a specific site?
Yes, if you have the approximate coordinates of the site, you can retrieve the data sheet of a nearby survey station with this information on it. The DATA SHEET PAGE will enable you to retrieve a data sheet for the area or point you are seeking. NGS also offers an interactive service as part of the Geodetic Tool Kit to perform this function for individual points. • What is WGS 84? Does it change? WGS 84 is the World Geodetic System of 1984. It is the reference frame used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and is defined by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency(NGA) (formerly the National Imagry and Mapping Agency) (formerly the Defense Mapping Agency). WGS 84 is used by DoD for all its mapping, charting, surveying, and navigation needs, including its GPS “broadcast” and “precise” orbits. WGS 84 was defined in January 1987 using Doppler satellite surveying techniques. It was used as the reference frame for broadcast GPS Ephemerides (orbits) beginning January 23, 1987. At 0000
