GPS Survey

G J Brookes Ltd. have invested in the Leica Smartnet GPS equipment which gives
immediate real time co-ordinates by utilising the ordnance survey active GPS Network.

How it works

Each GPS satellite transmits data that indicates its location and the current time. All GPS satellites synchronize operations so that these repeating signals are transmitted at the same instant. The signals moving at the speed of light arrive at a GPS receiver at slightly different times because some satellites are further away than others. The distance to the satellite can be determined by estimating the amount of time it takes for their signals to reach the receiver. When the receiver estimates the distance to at least four GPS Satellites it can calculate its position in three dimensions.

Smartnet

Lieca Geosystems smartnet service is a live and available as a broadcast correction service to subscribers via GSM or GPRS technology in Great Britain The service is a
partnership between leica geosystems and ordnance survey

GNSS

The international GNSS service (IGS) formerly the International GPS service is a voluntary federation of more than 200 worldwide agencies that pool resources and permanent GPS & GLONASS station data to generate precise GPS & GLONASS products The IGS is committed to provide the highest quality data and product as the standard for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in support of earth science research multidisciplinary application and education Currently the IGS includes two GNSS, GPS and Russian GLONASS and intend to incorporate future GNSS. You can think of the IGS as as the highest precision international civilian community.
