This trigonometric benchmark is part of France's local geodetic network. Trig points of this classification serve as fundamental control stations for surveying operations, providing precise positional references for mapping, land surveys, and engineering projects. Located at latitude 49.99673° and longitude 5.82479°, this point lies within French territory. The absence of recorded elevation data underscores the importance of field verification and documentation efforts; establishing or confirming height values would enhance the point's utility for three-dimensional surveying work. Local networks contribute essential spatial control at scales appropriate for regional and municipal applications. Surveyors and geodetic professionals benefit from systematic verification of such benchmarks, as accurate coordinates and elevations support cadastral surveys, infrastructure development, and maintenance of France's broader geodetic framework. Current documentation gaps highlight the value of continued registry updates.

Geodetic context in France

The national geodetic reference in France is maintained by Institut Géographique National (IGN). The active datum is RGF93 / Lambert-93. Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in France you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from osm_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
