| Abstract
|
:
|
"GPS for Land Surveyors: Second Edition, is a book written by a land surveyor, for land surveyors. Useful for any surveyor interested in GPS, and for engineers and others who want to enhance their knowledge of GPS technology. From fundamental theory to practical application and advanced technologies this book covers GPS without being saddled with pages of complicated math, yet it is not over simplified. This user-friendly manual gives you all the tools needed to understand and use GPS in everyday practice. In a concise format, this book teaches the basics of GPS technology, common hardware, surveying methods, survey design, planning and observation, and new chapters have been added on RTK and DGPS. To help the reader fully apply the practical advice in this book, each chapter has helpful review questions and answers. This feature will be particularly useful for seminar teachers, academic instructors, and students."--Jacket.
