This article is the second piece in a series on reference system modernization. If you have not read the first article, you can find it here. How Reference Systems Age Reference systems are built to […]
From Arctic geometry gaps to sovereignty exposure, can Canada afford continued dependence on external GNSS systems? The strategic silence in Ottawa has finally broken. For decades, Canada’s reliance on the American Global Positioning System (GPS) […]
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 […]
For most of the past decade, the geospatial industry has moved forward in predictable ways. Better sensors, more satellites, faster processing, and incremental improvements stacked on top of existing workflows. 2025 doesn’t fit that pattern. […]
Anyone who has worked in field data collection for more than a few seasons knows the realities: the GNSS signal drops out as you move under canopy, a pole sits in a traffic lane you […]
Desert Creative Group joined the GoGeomatics Expo 2025 in Calgary earlier this month to showcase the next generation of GNSS and positioning technologies. In this quick conversation, Jacob Wittenberg, Senior Vice President at Desert Creative […]
