Digital maps can find the nearest coffee shop, the boundaries of a neighbourhood or a street view of the house where you grew up. What they can’t find are fundamental pieces of Canadian geography: treaty territories.

Saskatoon city planner Tyson McShane regularly uses Google Maps, where he said treaty areas should be overlaid and searchable. Read more

Hydrographic offices (HOs) today exist in a world of accelerating technological change that is influencing human behaviour and creating new needs and ways of exploiting data to understand our world. HOs have traditionally been the producers of nautical information for safety of navigation. By the end of the 20th century, with the appearance of the IHO S-57 Standard, their main challenge was to evolve into a central database production system. Now, the critical challenge and opportunity is to evolve from there into a true geospatial agency, developing a hydrospatial information system (HIS) capable of providing products and services for multidimensional analysis and evidence-based decision-making, to support the growing Blue Economy and the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through apps and web browsers at the "speed of trust." Read more

When it comes to career opportunities in an ever-changing world, graduates need options — and that’s just what they’ll get when they participate in the geospatial degree program at Cal Poly Ponoma. The geospatial engineering program, which is part of the university’s civil engineering program, gives students one degree with two different licensing options, which ultimately sets them up for different career pathways after graduation. Read more

If you look at the “Streets & Points of Interest Map” of Boone County, the landscape rolls up from the Ohio River for some miles before apparently falling off earth’s edge at the county’s eastern boundary. The exception is that part of the City of Walton leaking into Kenton County. Seen today mostly in digital form online or a smartphone app (and occasionally on a paper map), the dividing line between Boone and Kenton counties was once set in stone.

The boundary line was originally surveyed by Moses Scott in 1802 under order of the state legislature, to establish the line between Boone and parent county Campbell County. Kenton County was not carved from Campbell until 1840. Read more

The State government exchanged a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Survey of India (SoI) for taking up the land resurvey christened ‘YSR Jagananna Saswath Bhoo Hakku-Bhoo Raksha Pathakam’, in the presence of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday. The programme will be launched on December 21.

Asserting that the comprehensive survey will go down in the history with golden letters as such a large scale survey is being conducted for the first time in the country after almost 100 years, the Chief Minister said that all the measurements will be highly accurate, with a minimum error rate of 2 cm.

The discovery of a dinosaur footprint fossil from 195 million years ago in Central Queensland has given researchers new insight into the type of prehistoric animals and ecosystems of the time.

University of Queensland palaeontologist, Anthony Romilio, was sent a photo of a footprint fossil from a surveyor who worked at the Callide Mine, near Biloela, after he had stumbled upon the prints while working there more than a decade ago. Read more

GPS World

At Android, we want to make it as easy as possible for developers to create the most helpful apps for their users. That’s why we aim to provide the best location experience with our APIs like the Fused Location Provider API (FLP). However, we’ve heard from many of you that the biggest location issue is inaccuracy in dense urban areas, such as wrong-side-of-the-street and even wrong-city-block errors.

....

The last great unsolved GPS problem

This wrong-side-of-the-street position error is caused by reflected GPS signals in cities, and we embarked on an ambitious project to help solve this great problem in GPS. Our solution uses 3D mapping aided corrections, and is only feasible to be done at scale by Google because it comprises 3D building models, raw GPS measurements, and machine learning. Read more
