To ensure that the land units are accurately surveyed and mapped via Large Scale Digital Topographic Mapping there is a need to establish a modern Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS). The establishment of the CORS will allow Myanmar’s Survey Department to accelerate mapping throughout the country through the use of GPS and other modern technologies. To ensure long-term sustainability of land survey efforts, the project will also include the establishment of a National Geographic Information System (NGIS) Master Plan with Production of National Base Map and GIS Database.
