GPS Surveying Techniques
Depending on the surveying task and the receivers being used, certain GPS surveying tech-
niques are possible. The three existing types of GPS surveying techniques are:
•
Static
•
Post-processed kinematic, rover
•
Real-time, reference and rover
The following table explains the three existing GPS surveying techniques.

Description
•
Reference set up over a point with accurately
known coordinates.
•
Rover set up over a point with known or unknown
coordinates.
•
Data recorded at both receivers simultaneously
at the same data rate, typically 15, 30 or 60 s.
•
Post-processing is compulsory.
For long baselines, geodetic networks, tectonic plate
studies.
High over long and very long baselines.
Slow
