Merging Geodetic network and Control network[edit]

Geodetic network and Control network are overlapping each other. They should probably benefit from being merged and also from being moved to Geodetic control network. —Johan G (KJG2007 | talk) 19:03, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I agree with KJG2007, so I did steps 1-4 of the WP:FMERGE process and moved the partially-merged article to geodetic control network. It only took me 3 years to get this far; I hope the remaining steps take fewer years :-). --DavidCary (talk) 15:47, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions for improvement[edit]

(And note to self...)

Some things that could be added are:

Other types of networks than triangular, for example traverse networks
Active networks, in essence those used in Network Real Time Kinematic (NRTK) networks (See Real Time Kinematic)/Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) networks
What horizontal, vertical and 3D datums are
Some illustrations
More references, both for verification by laymen and for those who wish to read more
