Datums
Sphere flattened
by 1 part in 300
Coincides with solid
earth to +/- 10 km
Coincides with MSL
(geoid) to +/- 100m
Definition of datum :
Defines the shape of the reference ellipsoid
Defines position of the ellipsoid relative to the Earth
Defines how a coordinate system is seated on the reference ellipsoid
At the datum the ellipsoid touches the surface of the earth, the
location coordinates are fixed (reference point)
Ideal datum : geocentric, with correct polar and equatorial radii (e.g. NAD83)
