  7. The Minnesota County Coordinate System Projections Used How established Ground Planes Method of Creation Important ideas to keep in mind about MN CCS

  8. The Minnesota County Coordinate System What are some benefits of Coordinate Systems? Provide common reference frame for relating different surveys GIS capabilities through common data link Ease of recovery / re-establishment of corners Ease of computation of directions (Azimuth / Bearings) of vectors Etc.

  9. Future Discussions MN CCS possible topic of future Continuing Education Seminars? My contact Information: Phone : 320-308-3203 Email: eifuller@stcloudstate.edu
