Abstract:

For the past 5 years, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has used the Global Positioning System (GPS) to establish mapping control for a statewide Geographic Information System (GIS). Innovative cost sharing methods were used to accomplish geodetic surveys in a timely and cost effective manner. Monumented mapping surveys were found to be most effective when set in station pairs at calculated distances. This study also discusses the necessary elements of a successful GPS contract.
