Introduction:
Surveying with GPS has become popular due to the advantages of accuracy, speed, versatility and economy. The techniques employed are completely different however, from those of classical surveying.
Provided that certain basic rules are followed GPS surveying is relatively straightforward and will produce good results. From a practical point of view it is probably more important to understand the basic rules for planning, observing and computing GPS surveys rather than to have a detailed theoretical knowledge of the Global Positioning System.
This guide outlines how to carry out Static and Rapid Static GPS surveys and emphasizes those points to which particular care has to be paid.
Although this guide has been written specifically for Leica Geosystems GPS - System 500 and System 300, much of the information is of a general nature and applicable to all GPS surveying. Further information may be found in the various guidelines contained in the System 500 or System 300 documentation material.
