Marine and Safety Tasmania’s Facilities Finder can be used to locate suitable GPS validation markers across the state. By exploring mapped marine facilities such as boat ramps, jetties, wharves and other fixed infrastructure, users can identify permanent, easily recognisable locations that provide reliable reference points for testing and validating GPS accuracy. Ideal validation markers are stable over time, clearly visible on mapping and aerial imagery, and accessible for field verification. Using these facilities as control points helps improve confidence in GPS positioning and supports consistent data collection and navigation activities.
