DESCRIPTION:
Fantastic book full of knowledge waiting to be passed on Maximus Pyronius Fantastic book full of knowledge waiting to be passed on to the interested reader willing to learn. Great introduction to many geodetic concepts. If you like GIS you can go a bit further by reading this book and gaining a more complete understanding of the power in spatial relationships.. "This book i will recommend for having a first hand understanding of the establishment" according to surakat olatunji hamed. This book i will recommend for having a first hand understanding of the establishment of the origin of coordinate system. "a must for any geospatial professional" according to Seshat. easy to understand description of coordinate systems. I am going to give this to our field crews to read!
Even if a computer has done nothing wrong, coordinate errors can often occur and lead to potentially disastrous miscalculations. This book is a valuable tool to help readers develop an understanding of how coordinate systems workand how they sometimes don’t.. It also addresses the upcoming GNSS constellations and coordinate implications.Details how to build a coordinate systemAddresses different methods of leveling, as well as measuring and modeling of height and gravityExplores two-coordinate (state-plane, UTM) systemsDiscusses initial points and other aspects of the rectangular systemCovers the geoid and the concepts of elevation There are thousands of horizontal geodetic datums and Cartesian coordinate systems currently sanctioned by governments around the world to describe our planet electronically and on paper.
