Survey markers, also called survey marks, survey monuments, or geodetic marks, are objects placed to mark key survey points on the Earth's surface. They are used in geodetic and land surveying. A benchmark is a type of survey marker that indicates elevation ( vertical position ). Horizontal position markers used for triangulation are also known ...
A geologic map or geological map is a special-purpose map made to show various geological features. Rock units or geologic strata are shown by color or symbols. Bedding planes and structural features such as faults, folds, are shown with strike and dip or trend and plunge symbols which give three-dimensional orientations features.
v. t. e. The Universal Transverse Mercator ( UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth. Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude, it is a horizontal position representation, which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth surface as a perfect ellipsoid.
How to tag an article. For most geographically based articles lacking a coordinate, a { { coord missing }} tag was added to the article's source wikitext just below the External Links section. Replace it with { { coord |latitude|longitude|display=title}} suitably customized. Once the coordinate data is added, the article displays a mapping link ...
The Military Grid Reference System ( MGRS) [ 1] is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for locating points on Earth. The MGRS is derived from the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system and the Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS) grid system, but uses a different labeling convention. The MGRS is used as geocode for the ...

If there's a way to sync up, please let me know.
