Dude that wrote the long ass article wrote:In 1996, the U.S. National Geodetic Survey (NGS) made
GPS observations of many countries in the Caribbean. Observations
on the island of Trinidad included two points
that happened to be on both the Old Trinidad Datum of
1903 and on the Naparima Datum of 1972. Thanks to David
Doyle of NGS, I received the WGS84 coordinates of all stations
observed. I performed a simple three-parameter
analysis of those two points and derived the following relations:
From Old Trinidad 1903 To WGS 84, DX = -33.250 m,
DY = +232.675 m, DZ = +484.542 m, the fit was good to
about 2 meters in each component for the two points computed.
From Naparima 1972 To WGS 84, DX = +0.332
meters, DY = +369.359 meters, DZ = +172.897 meters, and
the fit was good to better than a meter in each component
for the two points computed.
In 1986 I was retained to study the relations of the
various Grids and Datums of the area, and I traveled to
the islands and mainland to research the original data.
In 1987 I was invited to present the results of my analysis
and development of the 7-parameter Bursa-Wolf Datum
Shift relations of all coordinate systems in the Republic
of Venezuela and the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to
the Minister of External Affairs (Secretary of State) in
Port of Spain. A new International Boundary Treaty was
subsequently signed and ratified by both republics. The
defining Datum in the Treaty was the PSAD 56.

zscrugby wrote:also who has an iphone 3G[S].. can you share how you obtain your gps location? all the iphones ive used i had to follow a process which i thought of myself to get a location so has anyone else been able to get accurate gps location (that is on the satellite view as the map view as we know isnt acurate). if anyone wants to try my way here is how i do it..
first make sure you have sbsettings installed via cydia
then open sbsettings and if you dont have the location and the airplane toggle go to More and toggles and activate them an it will respring on exit.. now turn airplane mode on from sbsetting and in sbsettings click power then reboot.. when the iphone reboots leave the airplane mode on and go to the maps application and click the little location button on the bottom left. wait till it says your location can not be determined and while maps is still open open sbsettings (swipe the top bar incase you didnt no) and turn airplane mode off then go back to maps and click the location button again and you should get your accurate gps location within seconds.. if anyone wants the google maps (the misaligned one sadly) to be stored on the iphone so you can use it without internet contact me. also if anyone has any maps of trinidad for a garmin device please contact me aswell as the iphone now has an application that alows you to use maps from a garmin.

hoss you my friend deserve an A for Effort yo. I gonna try this. Since recently (and i havent restored since a LONG while) i have not been able to grab a GPS signal. I never grabbed it anywhere near my home either. And my Nokia used to do it in seconds. I'll try this.
BTW PM the details as to how to get the maps offline too
You ever used MotionX GPS app? that app is crazy good yo. try it.
EDIT: YOU ARE A FCKING BOSS! How you figured this out? this is the 1st time i have ever gotten GPS inside with my iPhone.

i was just playin around with it an it happened it work.. its pretty cool... i sugest using xgps from cydia.. im sendin you a pm now..
SUPAstarr wrote:hey guys this is the difference i was tellin you about, i cant provide a link jus yet, but it was embedded as an extra map choice at the top of our screen, it looks like a preliminary map but with a whole lot more minor detail, street directions, business places, that kinda thing..but still not all the road detail
