Ron,
As Dave mentioned, Professor Hermansen has done much research on this
matter. He can be reached at the U. Maine Spatial web site. He has been
very helpful to fellow surveyors in the past. I took his advanced
Boundary Law course in which he covered this issue. Three quick references
are:
Carlotta vs T.R. Stark & Associates, 470 A.2d 838, 57 Md.app.467
Chapman vs Rideout, 568 A.2d 829(Me 1990)
Essex vs Ryan, 446 N.E.2d 368(Ind.app.1983)

Message:
The Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) GPS network
managed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS), NOAA, is operating in
an experimental mode and will continue to do so until the network is
declared fully operational in 1997. Full CORS integrity monitoring
has not been implemented by NGS at this time. NGS will do its best to
ensure the reliability of this service in the interim but, because of
this status, users of the CORS data should be aware that NGS cannot
ensure:
1. That all current sites will be operational at all times or will be
kept as part of the final network configuration;
2. That all GPS data, positional information, utility software, or
ancillary information which has been posted is 100 percent correct
and without error; and
3. That any additional proposed sites that are added in the future
will remain operational or will be kept as part of the network.

The CORS Information Center has been experiencing communications problems
with some CORS sites during the last week. This has resulted in the
unrecoverable loss of data from some US Coast Guard and US Army Corps of
Engineers sites. The principal days affected, to date, have been January
6-9 and January 15-16. We are working to isolate and correct the problem.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have or will cause you.
=========================================================================

WARNING Over the last two weeks the position for the antenna at
WARNING Gustavus (gus1) has gradually been changing. The operating
