NYSNet is a spatial reference network of continuously operating reference stations (CORS), tracking Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS(GPS, Glonass, Galileo)), throughout New York State that can be used for differential GNSS applications. Depending on equipment and procedures, this network can provide users the ability to achieve centimeter positioning for surveying applications or sub-meter positioning for GIS mapping applications. The network was established to support NYSDOT land surveying applications. Data is provided in standard generic formats and is available to all. There is no charge for access to the data. Position information from this reference network can be utilized by using static data from the NYSNet CORS in post processing, or by using real time corrections from the NYSNet real time network (RTN).

 

Static data is available from this website or from the National Geodetic Survey website. Real time data is available through internet connection to NYSNet using a user name and password.

 

To register for the website or real time network:
