Description: DSWorld was originally designed to display datasheet information in a "world view", hence its name. Since its inception, it has been greatly enhanced to the point of being a major interface with NGS and the NGS Integrated Database (IDB). It provides Land Surveyors, GIS professionals and the general public with important up-to-date geodetic control information at the click of a button.

- Publishable geodetic control points in Google Earth by any of 5 different selection criteria.
- Other geodetic control such as reference marks, azimuth marks, calibration baseline marks, tidal BMs, etc.
- CORS stations
- Gravity stations
- OPUS stations
View:

Contains:
- A full feature digital photo editor specifically designed for sizing, enhancing, naming and labeling digital photos for submission to NGS.
- Routines for sending digital photos, recovery notes, hand-held GPS positions, data corrections, and photo trouble reports to NGS via the internet.
- Links to important NGS web interfaces.
- A simple ftp interface.
