The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based positioning system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the exact position of them. GPS receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. The time difference te

Finally an Adventure novel featuring a Land Surveyor and his son. Check it out at Amazon.com Barnes and Nobel. E-book is out now and paper copy coming in weeks. A sequel is in the works. See also tlacorte.wordpress.com and a big thank you to all in the surveying community for supporting the book so far. Nothing but great reviews for "6 Miles With Courage"
Paper maps are becoming obsolete. A talk about the lack of accuracy in our GPS. You will want to watch this video talk: Todd Humphreys: How to fool a GPS
This is why we ALL NEED to participate in Survey Earth in a Day 2.0. Only the members of this network have the capability of changing the state of GPS accuracy.
Less than 18 days until we measure the planet as a community during the course of a single day. Get involved!
