 Centre for Topographic Information :: The National Topographic System of Canada
To help you understand what topographic maps are and how to use them, we have answered many commonly asked questions and provided some explanations of topographic terms and symbols in the TOPO 101 section of the Centre for Topographic Information Web Site.
A 1/50 000 scale topographic map is ideal for recreational activities such as cycling, canoeing, snowmobiling, fishing, camping and hiking.
A 1/250 000 scale topographic map is considered to be a reconnaissance-type map.

System should show the user where they are in the search space; where they are and how they got there with the option to return to a previous state and follow another lead.
System provided information could include logs of session activities, state of the interface which can be used for resumption of a session, stored result sets, stored queries, and other passively recorded usage patterns that could be used to automatically customize user/system interactions.
This is recognized as a high priority and is being addressed by the systems implementation, interface design, and user evaluation teams and by a committee formed to plan for an operational digital library.

On topographic maps the Basic coordinate system is represented in black colour and the Uniform coordinate system in red colour.
The Basic coordinate system (Peruskoordinaatisto) and the Uniform coordinate system (Yhtenäiskoordinaatisto) based on that grid system are represented on the topographic maps.
In Finland the basis for determining the horizontal coordinates is the National Grid Coordinate System.

 Development Of The National Spatial Reference System
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS), a component of the Coast and Geodetic Survey (CandGS), is responding to demands from a wide range of users for improved three dimensional positional accuracy and accessibility to the reference system by developing the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS).
Both datums are the latest definitions of systems that began with the first geodetic surveys conducted by the Survey of the Coast, founded in 1807 (later renamed the Coast Survey-1836, U. Coast and Geodetic Survey-1878, and National Ocean Service-1970).
The National Geodetic Reference System (NGRS) exists as a collection of discreet geodetic elements.

Marine Transportation and National Defense As a military and economic superpower, the United States must be prepared to respond to regional conflicts around the globe that threaten U.S. national security or economic interests.
Increased congestion on the interstate highway system, for example, will provide an incentive to shift investment toward maritime and rail service; however, without greater public appreciation of the importance and value of marine transportation, public funds will continue to be directed towards the immediate needs of land transportation.
The EPA, in consultation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is directed to monitor the ecological effects of organotin in estuaries and coastal waters for ten years beginning in 1988.

 Maps 101 - Topographic Maps, The Basics - MGRS Letter Corrections
Many National Topographic System (NTS) map sheets have been produced with the wrong two letter MGRS designators.
When this change of datum occurred, we were instructed to change the lettering system for the 100 000-metre square identification grid on map sheets produced under the new datum.
The Department of National Defence (DND), the main user of Military Grid References, noted this error, and we were subsequently informed of the problem.

Deployment of this system to the Arctic is targeted for the SCICEX cruise in the summer of 1998 after installation on the submarine and one or more shakedown cruises.
The system will be tested in a towed configuration in Puget Sound in the spring of 1997 as part of the acceptance trials.
Some problems with the swath system were identified and corrected during port stops prior to arrival of USS Hawkbill in the Arctic Ocean.
