Even if you are an experienced GIS, Mapping or Survey user you may have some questions about the realities of precision GPS real-world use:

  • Grid vs. Ground Measurements
  • U.S. Survey Feet vs. International Feet
  • Reference Frames vs. Datum: WGS84, NAD83, NAD83-CORS96, NAD83-2011, ITRF2000...
  • Best Practices for Collecting Data in the Field
  • Ellipsoid vs. Orthometric Elevations: Hey! My GPS always reads elevations that are 100 feet off

Mark Silver's videos may help you sort out these questions. Here is a recommended viewing list:
