GPS is defined as satellite navigation and positioning system formed
by satellites moving at an altitude of 22,200 km about the surface of
Earth, for all civilian and military users which may be land, sea water
airborne providing location, velocity and time information irrespective
of weather conditions.
The location is used to determine ground position and velocity even
when there is obstruction in direct line of sight between the two
observation stations.
This system has enormous applications in various fields. Some of
those are
A control survey represents a class of survey for establishing point
with high accuracy enabling support of activities i.e. mapping,
construction, boundary surveys etc.
A unified coordinate base system can be established for survey and
other activities by addition of established control nets with a
monumented control point network.
Range of a control survey can vary by establishing few points to a
network that may consist of numerous points or may cover a large
extent of geographic area
