This French and English grammar identification appellation language mistake was written in the Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada Patent Office webpage in October 20, 1999.   The Canadian appellation Mistake GPS Global Positioning System and GLS Global Localization System was confirm in the Canadian Patent Office webpage concerning the GPS written identification: “(54) Method and System for Determining Position on a Moving Platform, Such as a Ship, Using Signals from GPS Satellites”. This misappropriated grammar term was due to the fact of the assignation of the Quebec Technician mandated, Gérard Lachapelle, who became P. Eng. (Professional Engineer) in (? ? ?) - Province of Alberta.   Concerning the WGS84 system were it come from I used the information of:   THE CANADIAN GUIDELINES FOR MANAGING A GPS BASED CONTROL SYSTEM IN THE MARITIME PROVINCES The NAD83 datum is based upon the (Canadian) Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS80) ellipsoid. NAD83: WGS84, ITRF The NAD83 datum is based upon the Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS80) ellipsoid. The NAD83 (CSRS95) datum will replace the current geodetic datum in the Maritimes, which is the Average Terrestrial System of 1977 (ATS77).
