Ghana launches digital geospatial data system

The Lands Commission unveiled the Continuous Operating Reference System (CORS) Network to enhance data accuracy of fieldwork and survey operations across the country.

The global positioning system (GPS) CORS Network would provide 24/7 nationwide geospatial data access, ensure real-time centimetre-level accuracy for fieldwork and boost revenue stream for the Commission.

The GPS CORS Network is a collaboration between the Survey and Mapping Division of the Lands Commission, the Licensed Surveyors Association of Ghana and the GMX Systems Ghana Limited, the technical partners for the project.

Currently, 52 COPS Network stations are deployed nationwide and zoned into southern, middle belt and upper sectors.
