Reference: Kinds of Benchmarks Reference information: "Benchmarks can be divided into two general groups. The first group, "vertical control points" are objects that mark a very precise elevation above the standard datum plane (usually referred to as elevation "above sea level"). The second group are the "horizontal control points" - objects with precisely established latitude and longitude. At this point, we should explain that "benchmark" is a generic term that is used here at Geocaching.com to refer to all geodetic control points. In the surveying profession, however, the term bench mark (usually two words) is used specifically for points of known elevation, or vertical control. When the benchmark is established at known latitude and longitude, it is described as horizontal control. The generic terms favored by professionals to describe horizontal control are station or mark, rather than "benchmark"." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 minutes (2010-09-23 21:42:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:NjD7IX1... |
