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 […]
Some individuals or firms, sometimes under false pretenses, are attempting to profit from the infrastructure that you, your partners, and legitimate users have built. The good news is this is not frequent, and they are […]
Every generation reaches a moment when it must ask: Who will build what comes next? For Canada’s geomatics community, that moment is now. As infrastructure ambitions expand and technology evolves faster than curricula, the gap […]
