10 Establishment of Myanmar Datum 2000 The following factors were the main enforcements to reproduce the National maps using with UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) Projection 1) Most of the maps were produced over last 70 years and they were not updated and the features on the map were not consistent with existing ground. 2) The old projection system of Myanmar was suitable only for the nations whose East-West extent is longer than North-South thus it was not suitable for Myanmar which of North-South is longer. 3) The units used in old map were in British System and not suitable for the modern mapping process. 4) The old mapping procedures were done in analog methods so that they could not be (converted) in scale, unit, projection, extracting of specific area etc. easily and modern digital method became the essential to be used. 5) The old projection system was not easy to link with other projections of the neighboring countries in boundary works because most of them were using UTM projection. 10
11 National Mapping using UTM Projection on Myanmar Datum 2000 There was a milestone at Survey Department in the year Commencing in the year 2000 and ending in 2008 SD could reproduce digital maps which covered the whole country by using UTM Projection on Myanmar Datum These were the main steps which were carried out in the process of map reproduction:- Myanmar s own Datum called as Myanmar Datum 2000 was established by laying out 9 Primary Stations of which their old Indian coordinates were known and Transformation Parameters between the said datum and WGS 84 had been deduced. 11
12 Myanmar Datum 2000 Establishment of Transformation Parameters Identification and selection of (9) Primary Triangulation stations whose Indian coordinates are known and evenly distributed over the area of country to form a new primary horizontal network. They are:- 1) Myitkyina (Maru bum) 2) Kale (Hkwe-u taung) 3) Meikhtila (Taungpila) 4) Sittwe (U-Gin taung) 5) Kengtung (Loi Hsu Khan) 6) Yangon (Ngweya taung) 7) Kyaikkami 1 (Amherst Base Line, -near Htonman village) 8) Kyaikkami 2 (Kyaikkami) 9) Myeik ( Nattalin taung)
