Malaysia precise positioning
Norsuzila Ya’acob, Mardina Abdullah and Mahamod Ismail
An ionospheric delay model was developed using Modified Jones 3-D ray tracing program to accurately determine the difference in ionospheric delay expected over a short baseline so that a more accurate differential GPS (dGPS) correction could be made. [more]
SPATIAL needs political champions
Gary Nairn
In my view, infrastructure doesn’t have to be “hard”. The reality is that “soft” infrastructure such as a NSDI will in fact facilitate the efficient development of the “hard” infrastructures. It is political “champions” who can overcome such irrational decisions. Unfortunately such “champions” have been in short numbers globally and it is incumbent on those in the profession and industry to find and “educate” some “champions”. But that “education” will only be effective if it is done in “political terms”. [more]
