   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. It held fixed the height of the primary tidal bench mark, referenced to the new International Great Lakes Datum of 1985 local mean sea level ...

   What is the difference between NAVD88 and vdatum?

   • These transformations require software to transform into different vertical datums. The NAVD88 is a correction of thousands of control points of elevation datum. VDatum is a free tool by NOAA to transform data among a variety of tidal, orthometric, and ellipsoidal vertical datums.

   What is the difference between navd29 and NAVD88?

   • Differences between NAVD29 and NAVD88 can range from three feet or more in the Rocky Mountains where gravitational forces are high… to a couple of inches in other areas. A vertical coordinate transformation isn’t a simple plug-in-play formula. These transformations require software to transform into different vertical datums.

   Oct 12, 2010 · The first geodetic leveling project in the United States was surveyed by the Coast Survey from 1856 to 1857. General adjustments of leveling data yielded datums in 1900, 1903, 1907, and 1912. NGS does not offer products which transform from these older datums into newer ones (though some users still work in them!)
