Point Position, Differential, Real Time Kinematic (RTK) and post Process modes are covered.
Objectives
To give a comprehensive introduction to GPS, GNSS and DGNSS technology, system concepts, design, operation, implementation and applications.
Best suited to: Managers, engineers and technicians who need to understand the basics of each system, and be able to make informed decisions of its use (or combined system) and limitations within their work environment.
No prior knowledge is necessary.
Duration: 4-7 hours (course duration determined by the technical depth required.
