Economics of GPS and CORS

William Young, Yehuda Bock and Shelley Marquez

Abstract:	Global Positioning System - GPS is convincing many surveyors to change the way they think about the profession. For most of recorded history surveying has used the same fundamental techniques. Now in a comparative instant of time GPS has introduced a revolution in procedure, a quantum leap in results, and gratifying economies to achieve essentially traditional goals. Continuous Operating Reference Stations (CORS) will continue this trend and will gradually replace the fixed monument reference system used around the world.
