  1. Feedback on the New Datums Esri Brent Jones and Kevin Kelly 2015 Geospatial Summit April 13 to 14, 2015

  2. Preparation • Our major products/services which will be affected by the new datums: • ArcGIS suite of software products • Projection Engine geodetic code base • Our preparations to date include: • Commenced development of dynamic datum functionality – • Time-based datum transformations • Point trajectory over time due to secular and episodic motion (i.e. crustal motion and earthquakes)

  3. Advantages / Challenges • We are excited because...Expected advantages of the new datums for your organization, its products, or services • Of the opportunity to modernize our geodetic models and tools • Of the anticipated improved awareness and importance of geodesy in GIS • We are concerned because...Expected challenges of the new datums for your organization, its products, or services • Many users will misunderstand and misuse dynamic datum tools • A substantial demand will arise for user education

  4. Transition Tools / Outreach Needs • The tools, products, or services we need most from NGS are: • Transformation tools on a modern code base • Consistent grid formats for all NGS products • The outreach we need most (from NGS or others): • Technical documentation of the new datums and their use • Simple user documentation of the new datums and their use • Continue hosting bi-annual summits and monthly webinars
