NAVSTAR GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM SURVEYING Public domain U.S. Government information ON CD-ROM GPS surveying is a process by which highly accurate, three-dimensional (3D) point positions are determined from signals received from NAVSTAR satellites. GPSderived positions may be used to provide the primary reference control monument locations for engineering and construction projects, from which detailed site plan topographic mapping, boundary demarcation, and construction alignment work may be performed using conventional surveying instruments and procedures. Included on this CD are over 469 pages of extremely useful information. GPS surveying also has application in the continuous positioning of marine floating plants. GPS surveying can also be used for input to Geographic Information System (GIS) and mapping projects. 3. General. The NAVSTAR GPS has significantly modified many traditional survey practices found in all aspects of surveying and mapping work. The NAVSTAR GPS, operating in a differential or relative survey mode, is capable of providing far more accurate positions of either static monuments or moving platforms at costs far less than those for conventional survey methods. The goal of this manual is to ensure that GPS survey procedures are efficiently and uniformly practiced to attain more accurate and cost-effective surveying and mapping execution throughout the Corps of Engineers.
