Abstract
A systematic survey of the Republica Oriental del Uruguay started in 1962, with a first international connection to Buenos Aires, transferring the absolute gravity datum from the Argentinian fundamental station to Montevideo. The Servicio Geografico Militar de Uruguay (SGM) then established a fundamental gravity network along the main roads between 1967 and 1968 including 924 stations. This relative type network consists of 25 loops, connected to the reference station in Montevideo. Densification surveys were mainly performed from 1984 to 1988 and increased the number of gravity stations to 2376 (average station distance 5 to 10 km).
