This guideline outlines the technical requirements for supply of GNSS Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) metadata and RINEX (Receiver Independent Exchange Format) data files to Toitū Te Whenua.
The aim is to recognise privately owned CORS as high quality geodetic marks and to monitor the stations stability.
A number of CORS stations have been added to Landonline and the Geodetic Database over time. These records are inconsistent and the co-ordinates are only in terms of the cadastral or geodetic survey that included them.
This document will provide guidance on station metadata and how to supply it to LINZ for inclusion in Landonline and the Geodetic Database
