Technical Talk "Talking about LTMs with René Zepeda" Local Topographic Maps

René Zepeda

Consultant and lecturer in the field of cartography and geodesy applied to geomensuration with almost 40 years of experience. His work in the field of using cartographic projections for engineering is well-known, where he has participated as a consultant for the MOP Road Manual. In addition, he actively participates as an advisor on various infrastructure projects. For more than 2 decades, he has taught at various higher education institutions, addressing topics related to precise positioning in engineering.

Topics to be discussed

• Precise positioning: topography vs. geodesy. Why is it impossible to detach from geodesy in topographic projects?
• Why did LTMs have such a positive impact on the development of geomensuration in Chile?
• Important examples of LTM application
• Live questions
