Canada currently lacks a sovereign Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and several core components of modern geodetic infrastructure needed to ensure reliable positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT). Canada now depends heavily on foreign satellite systems […]
“I’ve got to get this right.” It is a thought that surfaces again and again in geospatial work. A surveyor checks a control point one more time. A hydrographer reviews depth measurements knowing a small […]
If you work with geospatial data in Canada, you have likely heard the phrase “CSRS modernization” more often over the past few years. Sometimes it comes up in discussions about reference frames, sometimes in relation […]
People open maps on their phones every day to check a route, locate a place, or understand what surrounds them. It feels simple, but a long history stands behind that moment. The journey to modern […]
Canada’s failure to invest in modern geodetic infrastructure has left it dependent on foreign systems to run satellites, guide ships, synchronize power grids, and safeguard sovereignty — an invisible weakness in the infrastructure that holds […]
North America is undergoing a significant shift in how geographical positions are defined. Both Canada and the United States are moving away from NAD83 (North American Datum of 1983), a system introduced in the 1980s […]
GoGeomatics is excited to announce that the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) is once again joining the GoGeomatics Expo 2025 as a Gold Sponsor. A regular supporter of the Expo, SAIT has demonstrated its […]
When Montréal switched on its Real-Time GNSS Network (RTN), it marked a milestone in Canadian geodesy. By deploying its own standards-compliant GNSS infrastructure, Montréal stands among the pioneering Canadian cities offering centimeter-level positioning accuracy across […]
