Employ the latest satellite positioning tech with this extensive
guide

GPS Satellite Surveying is the classic text on the
subject, providing the most comprehensive coverage of global
navigation satellite systems applications for surveying. Fully
updated and expanded to reflect the field's latest developments,
this new edition contains new information on GNSS antennas, Precise
Point Positioning, Real-time Relative Positioning, Lattice
Reduction, and much more. New contributors offer additional insight
that greatly expands the book's reach, providing readers with
complete, in-depth coverage of geodetic surveying using satellite
technologies. The newest, most cutting-edge tools, technologies,
and applications are explored in-depth to help readers stay up to
date on best practices and preferred methods, giving them the
understanding they need to consistently produce more reliable
measurement.

Global navigation satellite systems have an array of uses in
military, civilian, and commercial applications. In surveying, GNSS
receivers are used to position survey markers, buildings, and road
construction as accurately as possible with less room for human
error. GPS Satellite Surveying provides complete guidance
toward the practical aspects of the field, helping readers to:

* Get up to speed on the latest GPS/GNSS developments

* Understand how satellite technology is applied to
surveying

* Examine in-depth information on adjustments and geodesy

* Learn the fundamentals of positioning, lattice adjustment,
antennas, and more

The surveying field has seen quite an evolution of technology in
the decade since the last edition's publication. This new edition
covers it all, bringing the reader deep inside the latest tools and
techniques being used on the job. Surveyors, engineers, geologists,
and anyone looking to employ satellite positioning will find GPS
Satellite Surveying to be of significant assistance.
