Survey grade GPS can be accurate to close to a centimeter or more. Therefore, only a professional land surveyor can improve the accuracy of web-based maps. Imagine how much land surveyors could change the state of web-mapping when we, as a community simultaneously measure the entire planet on the longest day of the year from thousands of locations around earth. We can show the public how truly important land surveyors are to society. Get Involved! It will only take 5-10 minutes of your time on June 21st at noon. Take a measurement at a known point, send in your RINEX data and let's redraw the world, together!

Survey Earth in a Day, hosted by Land Surveyors United has the potential of reaching an audience of professionals and those who pass by a surveyor using "strange and highly technical" equipment. Have you ever wondered what the general public perception of you, using this high-tech equipment in their own community? Survey Earth in a Day may be a simple opportunity for the Land Surveying professionals of the world to share their knowledge in an understandable way with all who are interested. Creating public awareness and understanding of what you do every day may bring a better understanding for all.

For the first time in history, the surface of the Earth was simultaneously measured from thousands of locations around the planet by the people with boots on the ground that use GPS technology every day. This year we will continue our project with Survey Earth in a Day 2.0.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a surveyor in another place? Do you think the general public truly understands the role of a professional land surveyors in society? Do you think that your value would increase if they did? Do you believe that we could benefit from learning more about the surface of the earth? Aside from surveyors, is there any other type of professional who can enhance the precision of Google Earth? Is it possible that a global community of surveyors might be able to recalculate earth's measurements? If this could occur, wouldn't all of the measurements need to be taken during a single day, simultaneously? If you have access to Survey Grade GPS Equipment and 10 minutes to spare at Noon on June 21st 2013, you can answer all of these questions and help change the public perspective of land surveyors. Join us as we Survey Earth in a Day, for a second time, as a community. You can participate from your location and it costs you nothing, but it could quite possibly change the world's perception of the surveying industry.
