When it comes to Land Surveying, if you use any sort of GNSS (GPS) equipment, you will deal with GNSS orbits even if you don’t realise it. But when it comes to Static GNSS processing, these are critical in obtaining good results in your GNSS processing.
Let’s see what are they and how to download GNSS precise orbits to augment your data processing.
GPS time is a time scale maintained by the atomic clocks of satellites and ground control stations of the Global Positioning System (GPS). It consists of a count of weeks and seconds of the week since 0 hours (midnight) Sunday, 6th of January 1980.
As the 3G switch-off looms, surveyors must be prepared for the upcoming changes. This article explores key considerations and practical tips to ensure a smooth transition, helping surveyors adapt and optimize their workflows in the evolving landscape of mobile connectivity.
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) is a term used to describe satellite-based systems that provide positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data.
GNSS is widely used in geomatics and land surveying to accurately determine the position and orientation of points on the Earth's surface.
Other uses outside of land surveying include transportation, navigation applications, agriculture and weather forecasting.
Converting to and from SnakeGrid coordinates might seem a like a difficult task when you've never done it, but it's actually quite a simple procedure. In this article I will explain how to do different conversions to and from SnakeGrid coordinates.
A filet is term used in many industries and can be defined in different ways, but it simple terms it is a rounded sharp edge or corner.
In this article I will explain the fillet tool in AutoCAD & how to fillet 2D and 3D elements.
If you've worked on large engineering projects that span over long but narrow areas, you probably have had difficulties using projected coordinate systems in your surveys.
...
In this article I will explore the meaning of SnakeGrid. I will go over topics like: what is the Snake Grid Coordinate System, what SnakeGrid coordinates are, what are the Snake Grid types out there and SnakeGrid converter software.
At their very core Land Surveyors do measurements. To be more specific, a surveyor gathers positional data to produce accurate representation of the shape of the land and anything on it.
Whilst the term surveyor is all encompassing, there are other terms that are used to describe surveyors.
Land Surveying is the process of gathering, collecting, and processing geographical data for creating a informational report about the surveyed area.
Land Surveyors gather positional data to produce accurate representation of the shape of the land and anything on it.
