+## 3 Jul 2026: Minor correction to outdated and conflicting grid references in DEA Maps, summary files
+
+![The DEA Summary Product Grid (Collection 3, expanded) as seen on DEA Maps.](/_files/tech-alerts/2026-07-03-DEA-Maps-grid.jpeg)
+
+On 3 July 2026, the Landsat C3 grid file will be briefly offline to allow minor updates to certain outdated grid references on [DEA Maps](https://maps.dea.ga.gov.au/#share=s-myWqsAEYxmS0WbtpAN2mWdVlcTw) and summary files.
+
+This process will replace the existing Landsat C3 grid file with a corrected version while live outdated and incorrect grids from AWS S3 will be decommissioned.  
+
+DEA will implement a formal patch to correct erroneous grid information across the expanded grid.
+
+These minor updates will take place on 3 July 2026.
+
+Users should not expect major disruptions. The invalid versions will be removed and replaced with correct variants within a window of a few minutes. 
+
+Steps have been taken to ensure the Knowledge Hub links remain valid and that existing URLs are pointing to correct and up-to-date files.  
+
+The following summary files will be decommissioned and archived: 
+
+* **ga_summary_grid_c2.geojson**  
+* **ga_summary_grid_c3.geojson**
+* **ga_summary_grid_c3_expanded.geojson**
+
+Most users will not need to take any action. Users with systems / services pointing to the URIs for the following summary files: 
+
+* **ga_summary_grid_c2.geojson**
+* **ga_summary_grid_c3.geojson**
+* **ga_summary_grid_c3_expanded.geojson**
+
+will need to update to point to **ga_summary_grid_landsat_c3.geojson**
