UPCOMING WEBINARS

Everything Else but GPS: How GLONASS, Galileo and Compass Will
Affect High-Precision Users -- REGISTER TODAY!
-- Register Today!
March 15, 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. GMT
Moderator:  Eric Gakstatter, Contributing Editor, Survey Scene

In a rapidly changing world -- which is the world of GPS and GNSS -- those who invest significant amounts of their operating capital in hardware must plan carefully for the future. Will your survey receiver remain relevant and up-to-date long enough for you to recoup your investment? How could taking advantage of newly operational constellations improve your efficiency and competitiveness? GLONASS is operational now. Compass has put forward a very aggressive schedule for regional and then global operations. Galileo is moving steadily forward. Moderator Eric Gakstatter closely follows all these systems, and can relate their capabilities -- current and future -- directly to surveyors' needs. His guest speakers will add to the insight. Required listening for anyone planning to stay on survey's leading edge.
