North Point Geographic Solutions

NPGS generally provides mapping quality (or "resource-grade") GPS services. The main distinction between survey-grade and mapping quality GPS data collection is dependent on a project's required level of precision. Survey-gradeGPS data can be up to 100 times more precise then mapping quality GPS data. The quality of the GPS data North Point Geograp... hic Solutions gathers is at least 1 meter horizontal accuracy whereas survey quality provides up to 1 cm horizontal accuracy. So why collect and use mapping quality GPS data instead of survey quality? Time - Providing survey quality data requires significantly more time to capture, rectify, and correct. NPGS staff can rapidly deploy a team to collect, correct, and begin reporting mapping quality data in far less time Cost - Time is money, so naturally a rapid deployment will drastically reduce the cost of a project. Additionally, dedicated survey equipment is required to capture survey quality data. NPGS staff are outfitted with high quality Trimble Juno GPS units with weatherproof housings which are rugged, light weight, and have integrated digital cameras with long lasting battery packs. Further, many applications can be readily deployed to mobile applications that are accessible by any user with an Android, iOS, or Windows Mobile device. Requirements - Most mapping projects only require mapping quality precision. NPGS staff can coordinate to meet the needs of any project.Read More
