GPS Land Surveyors
By Krish Rock
Land surveying is a technique in which professionals look at land and identify accurately the three dimensional positions of points and the distances between them. This is often used in order to calculate the data needed for maps, and in order to set boundaries of ownership. It can also be used for general mapping and there are many land surveying initiatives run by the government.
To achieve this surveyors will use geometry, engineering, mathematics, physics and law to understand the exact nature of land, who it belongs to and what can be potentially done with it. They will often have a background in geography that will help them to recognize land types and how maps and mapping works, but this is largely a very mathematical process that requires a very in depth understanding and a lot of knowledge and skill. It is not something that you can do easily yourself then!
Developments for a GPS tracking system had been considered as far back as the 1940s but the technology at the time made this impossible. The first systems developed were for military use and built in the paranoia and fear that existed during the Cold War period, which made it easy to justify the billions of dollars required to develop a fully functioning GPS tracking system.
Increased security measures are another by-product of having a GPS tracker on your mobile phone. Downloading one of the many tracking programs can effectively LoJack your phone, making it simple to find and difficult for someone stealing it to put it to use.
The initial version of the embryonic system was called Navstar-GPS, which later became abbreviated to GPS and was made fully available to civil authorities after the 1983 shooting down of a Korean domestic aircraft which strayed into USSR airspace.
There is also no immediate notification that the mobile is LoJacked as it is controlled by the management application system, which will normally go unnoticed.
From its initial military concept, GPS tracking has now evolved into many civilian applications and along with satellite navigational systems there are implications for private surveillance and the GPS tracking of vehicles, people and pets. Geofencing ensures that a device remains within a predetermined area and geotagging allows attributes to be given to a specific GPS location such as a restaurant or hotel.
