Hello,
I have GPS for Land Surveyors, 4th Edition. I was wondering how much was added to the 5th addition. I am most interested in the process for establishing project control with Network RTK. I don't really care about scanning and UAS.
Thanks,
Dan
Enough was added to change the title of the book to GPS and GNSS for Land Surveyors. Quite a lot about new constellations, new signals, and new datums. I recommend the book highly but there isn't really much in either edition about establishing project control.
Here are some notes I made 12 years ago about establishing control for road topo jobs. Also, look into Landon Blake's "Redefined Horizons Learning Channel" on youtube.
If there’s an opportunity to buy these books, get them.
For those who don’t have such an opportunity, I’m attaching links to both books (download them), I’ll delete the books in a week.
After reading a post on the forum, I caught myself thinking that I haven’t read GPS literature in a long time, it’s very interesting how reference stations form a VRS (Virtual Reference Station).
I’ll need to read GPS and GNSS for Land Surveyors, Fifth Edition, maybe I’ll find something interesting there.

@land_odse Oh man you are awesome. I've been eyeballing this book for a while but I kept waiting to find a few books I was interested in getting before pulling the trigger on the basket.
@bstrand Anytime! 😊 In my personal digital library, I have around 70-80 books on geodesy and photogrammetry, including nearly all editions of Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (PE&RS). I’m an ASPRS subscriber. Unfortunately, some books are practically impossible to get in digital format, especially newer ones from ASPRS—they’re, to put it mildly, not cheap.
