Description: This course gives instruction and information regarding Real Time Kinematic Global Positioning System surveying techniques used in the collection of topographic data.  The course teaches skills needed in the practice of this modern surveying and mapping procedureThe objective of “GPS RTK Topographic Procedures” is to provide information that will assist the surveyor in using GPS Real Time Kinematic surveying techniques in preparing topographic surveys.The technique of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is a viable alternative to differential methods for precise positioning using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). PPP is very cost effective since there is no need for data from local or regional reference stations. Especially in remote areas the logistic is greatly simplified. The PPP method has a potential for centimetre accuracy for static applications and sub-decimeter accuracy for kinematic applications. PPP-software developed at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences has after a successful verification been used by the Hydrographic Survey of Norway in seafloor mapping since 2003. Based on experiences regarding ease of operation, cost-effectiveness and positional accuracy, a commercial software has been developed by the company Terratec AS. In the presented course the PPP approach is outlined with emphasis on kinematic measurements. Advantages and drawbacks compared to differential methods are discussed.Many applications in navigation, land surveying and general geo-referencing have been  simplified and made more precise due to the availability of signals from radionavigation  satellites. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) include military systems like GPS  from the United States, GLONASS from Russia, as well as the future civilian system from  Europe named GALILEO. It is fair to mention that GPS has been, and still is, the cornerstone  of satellite positioning, and the system has been available for civilia
