An Introduction to the 3rd Edition of the Guidelines for the use of GNSS in Surveying and Mapping

The third edition of the Guidelines for the use of GNSS in surveying and mapping is published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in partnership with Newcastle University. This guidance note has been produced to provide surveyors and their clients with guidelines for the use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in land surveying and the geospatial industry. Like the previous editions the term GNSS is used throughout instead of Global Positioning Systems (GPS), to reflect the fact that there are numerous satellite navigation system constellations available and several GNSS receivers on the market can use data from multiple constellations.
