BCACS GPS Base Station Data

The BC Active Control System (BCACS) network comprises permanent, continuously operating Global Positioning System (GPS) base stations linked to Victoria via telecommunication networks. It provides raw GPS observables from GPS receivers located on very precise and accurately located geodetic control monumentation.

BCACS Post-mission Data is available for the whole province by subscription or on a pay-per-download basis.   Read more >>

BCACS Municipal Data - CRD

The BCACSm is a system which provides GPS corrections in post-mission and real-time using the standardized Provincial coordinate system. Real-time communication is supported via a UHF radio link and/or wireless PCS link (i.e. cellular telephone). Real-time accuracy levels range from approximately 1m (using RTCM code corrections and a mapping grade GPS receiver) to centimetre level (using dual frequency survey grade receivers).

The BC ACSm - CRD provides the capability to acquire precise control anywhere within the CRD without the requirement to have two GPS receivers or using  costly traversing to bring control in from distant monuments. All the user needs is a single GPS receiver capable of achieving the accuracy they require, and an off-the-shelf radio receiver. Subscriptions to the correction signal can be obtained from the CRD.  Read more >>

BCACS Municipal Data - MV

The BCACSm is a system which provides GPS corrections in post-mission and real-time using the standardized Provincial coordinate system. Real-time communication is supported via a UHF radio link and/or wireless PCS link (i.e. cellular telephone). Real-time accuracy levels range from approximately 1m (using RTCM code corrections and a mapping grade GPS receiver) to centimetre level (using dual frequency survey grade receivers).

This real-time GPS Service was developed as a partnership between Crown Registry and Geographic Base and the Greater Vancouver Regional District, and the municipalities comprising the Metro Vancouver (MV). CRGB and the MV are working in partnership with selected private companies to build this system to support high precision real-time GPS applications within the MV. The Service supports real-time metre level positioning (DGPS) for mapping and GIS applications and positioning at the level of a few centimetres (RTK) horizontally and vertically for survey and engineering applications.  Read more >>

Hillshade

Hillshade - TRIM products are a derivation of the BC gridded Digital Elevation Model (BC DEM) consisting of eight distinct raster products, presented in two different common planar projections, in file formats appropriate to the file content. The BC DEM files use the National Topographic System (NTS) at 1:250 000 scale (250K blocks) as a delivery basis and have a grid spacing of 25 metres.  Read more >>

Satellite Imagery

Satellite imagery are photographs of Earth or other planets made from artificial satellites. Satellites orbiting Earth have an orbit, elevation and time intervals to cover the globe and image the same area. Examples of these satellites are Landsat, SPOT, IKONOS, Quick Bird and IRS. Active satellites record reflected radiations which the sensors will send to earth surface. These are Radar Satellites such as Canadian RADARSAT 1 and 2.   Read more >>
