Whether you need digital base maps or computerized graphics, Ray Carlson & Associates can make data available easily and accurately on disk or by modem.
What is GPS?
A network of satellites in earth's orbit, constantly broadcasting information which is monitored and interpreted by ground-based receivers. When a GPS receiver reports and records a position, it shows the latitude, longitude and height of that point in space, relative to a globally accepted model of the earth. Using GPS helps to avoid typical linear and angular surveying errors.
Why use GPS?
Measurement accuracy is paramount when it comes to surveying. Imagine investing in a construction project only to discover it is built partially on your neighbor's lot. Or selling parcels of land and realizing later that your property boundaries extended farther than you thought or the parcel had more acreage.
Ray Carlson & Associates invested in Global Position System (GPS) so we could guarantee you the most accurate surveying measurement, (.025/foot or 1 centimeter), possible!
Many surveys, previously considered un-economical because of terrain or size, are now within reach with the use of GPS.
Large parcels of land involving multiple government sections can be surveyed more quickly than conventional ground measurements.
Remote boundary corners, unseen for decades, can be located by using the navigational capabilities on board our state-of-the-art GPS equipment.
