The North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) is the vertical datum for orthometric heights established for vertical control surveying in the United States of America based upon the General Adjustment of the North American Datum of 1988.
Nov 4, 2020 · The NAVD 88 used some of the original data from 1929 but also re-leveled about 100,000 km. Originally scheduled to be completed in 1988, it was finished on June 15, 1991. The new datum produced fewer distortions than earlier vertical datums and more accurate elevations, according to Remondi.

The goal of the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) is to complete nationwide data acquisition in 8 years, by 2023, to provide the first-ever national baseline of consistent high-resolution three-dimensional data—including bare earth elevations and three-dimensional point clouds—collected in a timeframe of less than a decade.
Jul 12, 2018 · The North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) is the vertical control datum established in 1991 by the minimum-constraint adjustment of the Canadian-Mexican-United States leveling observations.
When dealing with paper maps and charts, the datums are typically listed in the legend of the map. In fact, both horizontal and vertical datum are usually provided. Topographic maps (from USGS, for example) will have elevations referenced to either NAVD 88 or the older NGVD 29.
Jun 10, 2020 · GEOID18 is the latest hybrid geoid model to be used for the following vertical datums within the United States and its territories: the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) for the conterminous United States, the Puerto Rico Vertical Datum of 2002 (PRVD02), and the Virgin Islands Vertical Datum of 2009 (VIVD09).
The North American Datum ( NAD) is the horizontal datum now used to define the geodetic network in North America. A datum is a formal description of the shape of the Earth along with an "anchor" point for the coordinate system.
