GPS Survey

Although the modern technology of global positioning systems (GPS) has been used in surveying applications for over two decades, the cost of that technology has made it's use unreachable for most private land surveying firms until recently. During the past few years, the price-tags on the survey-grade GPS receivers have dropped significantly, leveling the playing field between the large, corporate survey firms and the smaller, sole ownership companies. In the hands of a qualified land surveyor, survey-grade GPS receivers enable the precise measurement between remote points, without line-of-sight and without the extensive labor required to obtain the same results using conventional surveying equipment.
