Among the initiatives to achieve geographic information interoperability for the State, the Chilean map layer Geoportal viewer has now linked the “IGM Sirgas Points.”
The new layer is located in the “Topography” category and comes from the Military Geographic Institute (in Spanish IGM) servers. This points’ layer shows the reference frame for all geodetic and cartographic activities and representation, and is composed of geodetic points created, calculated and materialized by IGM.
The points are used to develop mapping and to increase the density of other geodetic networks with multiple purposes (mining, urban forestry, other). Please visit the Map Viewer Geoportal of Chile for further information.
