  • DSWorld Web – enables users to submit updated information on survey marks available on NGS datasheets.
  • Leveling Project Page – simplifies searches for mark and observation information for an entire leveling project.
  • Calibration Baselines (CBL) Web Map – provides quick and easy access to the latest CBL information.
  • Passive Marks Page – for user-friendly datasheet access, including graphics, maps, and project information.
