Last Wednesday, June 20, 2012, Foster Survey Company participated in the global simultaneous survey grade Global Positioning Systems (GPS) measurement of Earth. This international land surveying event was called Survey Earth in a Day.
On the day of the summer solstice June 20 2012, geospatial professionals around the world and members of Land Surveyors United (a global support network for land surveyors) will be simultaneously recording survey grade GPS data from thousands of points around the globe, in order to gain a more accurate understanding of the earth’s surface.

Thanks for sharing all this information! I do think it is cool that land surveyors have so much equipment they use. I always see them on the side of the road and wonder what they are doing. But after reading this I understand better what they are doing and what they use their land surveying equipment for. Thanks for sharing!
That’s great that you are using GPS system not only on the Survey Earth in a day, but every time. It’s very rare to see such kind of surveying companies, which are providing such quality service.
Are you participating in Survey Earth in a Day 3D, Eric? gonna be massive this year…hope to see you!
