Global Positioning System

Global positioning systems (GPS) use satellites orbiting the earth to determine precise locations. At Simon & Associates, our land development team puts GPS to work for precision surveying and state-of-the-art spatial analysis. The survey control for the study area can be tied to state or national coordinate systems. This capability allows our land development team to make use of data from other sources, available through geographic information systems (GIS). With GPS technology, we can import GIS data from local governments, utilities, and other sources, and incorporate that information into maps for our clients.
