Would a universal symbol for surveying be practical and useful? Several candidate symbols may already exist. We see symbols and logos every day, and some have become so ingrained in our minds that we can […]
Beacons of Hope for Positioning, Navigation and Timing Alternatives Whenever we hear people talk enthusiastically about 3D digital twins, real-time mapping, “metaverses”, or flying autonomous taxi drones, we have to keep in mind that such […]
Exploring the esoteric world of precision timing by “following the White Rabbit”. By Gavin Schrock, PLS While most in the AEC, geospatial, and geomatics sectors might only have positioning and navigation in mind when it […]
A long-time surveying program instructor has authored a book on fundamental mathematics that every surveyor should know… and is offering it free to all. Whether you are a recent entrant to geomatics and surveying, or […]
Can UWB technology yield sub-centimeter positions indoors? Yes, and there are many more applications as well. We examine this Alternate GPS/GNSS/PNT technology, by looking at one firm’s solutions and end-use applications. For those in the […]
GIS Research Methods: A non-technical overview of the science and tools behind geographic information systems and geographic information science for researchers, practitioners, students and academics who may not have an extensive GIS or Geography background. Author: Nick […]
How would like to support, or even participate in what could become the most ambitious 3D surveying and mapping project ever? It could be the opportunity of a lifetime. A unique, global initiative is leveraging […]
With all the buzz about investing in, expanding, and modernizing infrastructure, one key aspect seems to be almost universally overlooked: the unknowns about what lies beneath the ground. This is especially true for underground assets. […]
