    This document discusses datums and geodetic coordinate systems. It provides definitions and explanations of horizontal datums, vertical datums, and reference datums. It notes that datums are reference systems used to compute locations and translate positions on maps to real positions on Earth. The document also discusses specific datums used in Malaysia, including the Geocentric Datum of Malaysia 2000 and its 2009 update due to shifts caused by earthquakes.

    Introduction
    Insurveyingand geodesy, adatumis a reference
    system of the Earth's surface against which
    positional measurements are made for computing
    locations.
    Geodesists and surveyors use datums to create
    starting or reference points for floodplain
    maps, property boundaries, construction
    surveys or other work requiring accurate
    coordinates that are consistent with one another.

    Use of Datum
    Datums are used ingeodesy,navigation, and
    surveyingbycartographersand
    satellite navigation systemsto translate positions
    indicated onmaps(paper or digital) to their real
    position onEarth.
    Each starts with anellipsoid(stretched sphere),
    and then defines latitude,longitudeandaltitude
    coordinates.
    One or more locations on the Earth's surface is
    chosen as an anchor "base-point".

    Horizontal Datum
    Horizontal datums are used for describing a point on
    the Earth's surface, in latitude and longitude or another
    coordinate system.
    There are hundreds of local horizontal datums around
    the world, usually referenced to some convenient local
    reference point.
    TheWGS 84datum, which is almost identical to the
    NAD83datum used in North America and theETRS89
    datum used in Europe, is a common standard datum.

    Vertical Datum
    A vertical datum is used as a reference point for
    elevationsof surfaces and features on the Earth
    including terrain, bathymetry, water levels, and manmade structures.
    Vertical datums are used to measure land
    elevations and water heights or depths.
    For the purpose of measuring the height of objects on
    land, the usual datum used ismean sea level (MSL).

    Reference
    Datums

    A constant surface used to describe the location of unknown points on the


    Earth.
    Reference datums can have different radius & different center points.
    There are hundreds of locally developed reference datums around the world,
    usually referenced to some convenient local reference point.
    WGS 84 is theWorld Geodetic Systemof 1984.
    WGS 84 is used by US Department of Defense for all its mapping, charting,
    surveying, and navigation needs, including itsGPS"broadcast" and "precise"
    orbits.
    The WGS 84 datum, within two meters of the NAD83 datum used in North
    America, is the only world referencing system in place today.
    WGS 84 is the default standard datum for coordinates stored in recreational and
    commercial GPS units.
    Users of GPS must always check the datum of the maps they are using.

    1998 & 2001 JUPEM has developed a network of


    Malaysia Active GPS System (MASS)
    Malaysia Real-Time Kinematic GNSS Network
    (MyRTKnet) between 2002 & 2008.
    August 26, 2003, JUPEM has launched
    Geocentric Datum of Malaysia (GDM2000),
    the new geodetic reference datum uniform for
    the work of surveying and mapping in
    Malaysia.

    WHAT IS GDM 2000 ?


    WHY REOBSERVATION & GDM2009 ?
    Earth centred coordinate Datum for Malaysia.
    GDM2000 reference system has undergone a
    significant shift, because large earthquakes in
    Sumatra Indonesia, especially in 2004 & 2005.
    This datum has been reviewed & recalculated to
    produce GDM2000 (2009).
