The BCACSm is a system which provides GPS corrections in post-mission and real-time using the standardized Provincial coordinate system. Real-time communication is supported via Bell managed network and through Open Internet access. Real-time accuracy levels range from approximately 1m (using RTCM code corrections and a mapping grade GPS receiver) to centimetre level (using dual frequency survey grade receivers). Service provides users with the ability to survey and layout points, accurate to a few centimetres, instantaneously.

BCACSm has been implemented in two municipal areas:

In addition to the CRD and MV services, other regional governments and municipalities (e.g. Kelowna, Kamloops, Comox-Strathcona Regional District, etc.) are in the planning stages and are expected to be finalized in the future.

BCACSm - MV

This real-time GPS Service was developed with a partnership between CRGB and Metro Vancouver, and the municipalities comprising the MV. CRGB and the MV are working in partnership with selected private companies to maintain and enhance the existing system to support high precision real-time GPS applications within the MV area. The Service supports real-time metre level positioning (DGPS) for mapping and GIS applications and positioning at the level of a few centimetres (RTK) horizontally and vertically for survey and engineering applications.
