Here are some highlights:

• Do More Satellites Mean Better GPS?: With America, Russia, the European Union and now China all having GNSS constellations in operation, what does it mean for surveyors and geospatial professionals?
• GNSS and Surveyors: The ability to capture accurate points from a distance with images provides a significant leap in safety and efficiency for subsurface utility engineering.
• 3D Laser Scanning: GeoDude Geoff Jacobs wraps up his series exploring the early days of 3D laser scanning by examining major break-throughs in the timeline of the technology and how they brought scanning to where it is today.
• All in the Family: Arizona surveyor William Wing is introducing the next generation of surveyors (his children) to the ancient craft, and the learning extends beyond surveying.
