 The GPS has been available for civilian and military use for two decades. Has witnessed
the creation of many new GPS applications. As they provide cost-effective precision positioning.
The GPS can guide the machinery and automatically control them, as for example in dangerous
areas where human lives are in danger. The application of terrestrial, marine and airborne GPS
will be explained below.

GPS for the utility industry: Updated maps of utilities. These maps help like the companies
that provide electricity, gas and water services. The system provides a cost-effective, efficient
and accurate tool for creating maps of public services. This integrated system is an efficient tool
for the rapid mapping of public services, the best signal reception, while the LRF measures travel
information ( range and azimuth) to the utility assets such as light poles. The processing software
should be able to combine both the GPS and the LRF information. Has been used for application
spikes that prevent and control fires, harvesting operations, insect infections, determination of
limits and aerial spraying. GPS is a key technology that allows system operator to identify and
monitor the exact location of resources. GPS has also been very useful for wildlife management
and insect infestation. These locations can be easily accessed by navigation through reference
points. Topography is becoming the preferred method for determining forest boundaries, in real
time can get up to 75% time and cost reductions.

GPS for precision agriculture has the ability to provide real-time precision of submeters or
decimeters has revolutionized the agricultural industrial. Applications include soil sampling,
chemical application control, and crop performance monitors. To accurately locate the sample
points of a predefined grid. After analysis of soil samples the information of nitrogen and organic
material is obtained. This type of information is mapped and used as a reference to guide farmers
in the efficient and economical treatment of soil problems.

Civil engineering works are often done in a complex and unfriendly environment, making
it difficult for personnel to operate efficiently. The ability of GPS to provide real-time submeter-
and centimeter-level accuracy in a cost-effective manner has significantly changed the civil
engineering industry. Construction firms are using GPS in many applications such as
road construction, Earth moving, and fleet management.

In road construction and earthworks, it combines wireless communication and computer

systems that are installed on board the earthmoving machine. In situations where a millimeter
elevation is required, the GPS can be integrated with rotating beam lasers. The same technology
is also used for foundation work and precise structural, these applications are guided through the
on-board computer screens, eliminating the need for conventional method. The GPS is also used
to track the location and use of the equipment at different sites.
 GPS for cadastral surveys: establish ownership comers, boundaries and areas of plots of
land. Conventional surveying methods have been used and are being used for this purpose. The
RTK topography us the most suitable method especially in unobstructed areas. Is mainly due to
its ease of use and the availability of results in the field.

Waypoint navigation: Is a redesign as a guide for a user to reach his destination in the best
way in the shortest possible time and distance, feed the GPS receiver or GPS receiver controller
with the coordinates of your destination with GPS user receives guidance on screen instantly,
surveyors use this principle to design points and lines. The idea behind navigating points and
lines. The idea behind navigation is by GPS landmarks is simple. As a first step, the user must
feed the receiver with the coordinates of its destination. Most receivers are able to store several
destination points in their internal memory. The second step is to let the receiver and the target
positions, the inbuilt receiving computer calculates the distance and the azimuth that is called by
the topographs.
