The Geneva-Copenhagen Survey (Nordström et al., 2004) gives ages, metallicities, velocities, and Galactic orbits for a complete, magnitude-limited sample of 14,000 F and G dwarfs. We have verified the calibrations used in the GCS, improved those of Teff, [Fe/H], distance, and age from uvby β, and checked the effect on the resulting Galactic relations by end- to-end numerical simulations. All the main results of the GCS remain unchanged.
