Global Positioning System (GPS) Survey uses a network of satellites to communicate and to transmit data with the receivers on the ground. By connecting the GPS survey devices to the satellite-based navigation system, the receiver communicates with the satellites to collect data such as the precise location, the time the data was transmitted and the distance between the satellite and the receiver. Coordinates of latitudes and longitudes are then calculated from the collected data. 

GPS-based survey data collection is much faster than conventional surveying and mapping techniques as it is not bound by line-of-sight visibility between survey stations. The stations can be deployed at greater distances from each other and can operate anywhere with a good view of the sky. Today, GPS is a vital part of surveying and mapping applications around the world. 

At Wisescan, our team uses sophisticated GPS technology coupled with high quality software to deliver accurate and reliable survey results.
