BenchMap allows searching and viewing of National Geodetic Survey / NGS survey stations on an interactive map. Once a station is selected you can view the datasheet, view the Geocaching page, take photographs and record notes. On the map, you can filter the types of stations to display - like certain stabilities, horizontal/vertical orders, and destroyed/non-publishable status. You can also directly search for a PID, and have the map take you to the location of the station, and manually view the datasheet of a station. Once a station is found, you can take photographs of it, images being stored in a simple numbering scheme or be saved using the NGS's recommended photograph naming convention. Using the naming convention, each station's images are stored in their own folder, along with a notes text file if the you record any recovery notes for the station. Made for the professional surveyor and the geocache hunter (benchmark hunter!) out there in the wild.
