Cadastral solutions involve managing legal cadastres of properties and registers with transaction history according to country or state regulations. This includes attribute information describing land use and ownership.


Connect the Coastal Dots

		Both on the ground and in the air, mapping the Florida Keys proves difficult. But gathering aerial images in strip form rather than frames helps establish control and improves GIS layers. Read more about this article, “Connect the Coastal Dots”, which appears in the February 2008 issue of Professional Surveyor magazine. more


Dutch Watershappen use MobileMatriX

		The Association of the Waterschappen (Water Boards) in the Netherlands consists of 27 members, without whom it would not be possible to live in this country where more than a quarter of the land mass lies below sea level. The water boards maintain a vast number of features in the field, such as bridges, culverts and fish ladders. Using Leica MobileMatriX, and customizing its functionality, the Water boards have created a very fast and efficient workflow for collecting information on new and existing features. more


AFREF

		AFREF is conceived as a unified geodetic reference frame for Africa. In March 2007, the first permanent GNSS reference station was launched in Kenya. Leica Geosystems supports the project with its knowledge, as well as via donation of a complete system. more

Swissphoto leads the way with Leica SmartStation

		Swissphoto Group AG, the leading Swiss Survey Company, has relied on the expertise of Leica Geosystems for decades and invests as one of the first in Europe in SmartStation. The decision to purchase a SmartStation was influenced by the positive feedback of the staff that use Leica System 1200. more


GPS Spider nets the world

		(Reporter 51, August 2004) Innovative projects in Australia and Austria are making use of Leica GPS Spider software to fully automate operation of GPS reference stations. In the first project presented, Spider controls a network of GPS reference stations and in the other it monitors a dangerous rockfall area. The purpose of these projects is quite different, nevertheless Spider, together with customized solutions by Leica Geosystems have fulfilled and exceeded the customer's expectations. more


Spider manages Portuguese GPS Network

		The relationship between Leica Geosystems in Portugal and IGP has been based for many years on trust, quality and a high level of service and support. Consequently, IGP has decided to use Leica SPIDER software to manage the Portuguese National GPS Permanent Station Network (ReNEP), which currently has 8 GPS stations. more


Private GPS reference network

		Leica Geosystems recently delivered the new system GPS1200 to SSAB in Oxelösund, Sweden. Leica GPS1200 constitutes the core of a new investment to make a private GPS-reference network at SSAB. The GPS antenna has been located in a carefully chosen place - on top of the 73 metre-tall tower in the power plant. more


System 1200 fulfils expectations of German surveyors

		Following the purchase of both TPS and GPS System 1200, German company SAG Netz und Energietechnik is so pleased with the reliability and productivity of the instruments that they plan to provide each of their subsidiaries with at least one set. more


Tvilum Landinspektørfirma invests in System 1200

		Increased demands on efficiency and flexibility. That is the main reason why Tvilum Landinspektørfirma – one of Denmark’s leading companies of chartered surveyors – has chosen to invest in three total stations and four GPSs from Leica Geosystems’ new System 1200 range. In future, the company expects to be using Leica as a total supplier of measuring equipment. more


Emerging permanent reference station networks

		(Reporter 50, April 2004) Over the last few years, permanent reference station installations have emerged in several countries. These installations allow for roving GPS users in the field to achieve instant centimetre accuracies without the need of setting up a GPS reference station on a known station. This is quite appealing, since in areas with considerable GPS surveying activity, a number of users might share the infrastructure and the associated costs. Some of the installations are operated by companies and provide a service to the surveying community. more


Point-and-Click future of GIS

		(Reporter 48, Jan 2003) Since its 2001 acquisition of LH Systems and ERDAS, Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping Division has mobilized to integrate its product offerings in Airborne data acquisition, geographic imaging, GPS/GIS, and Land Information Systems. As it begins to optimize the interoperability of these complementary technologies, Leica Geosystems aims to transform the way we capture, analyze, and use spatial data. more


Cadastre in Guatemala

		(Reporter 48, Jan 2003) Leica Geosystems has been contracted by Guatemala to deliver equipment for field data acquisition and the development of the National Geodetic Network. more


The highly sophisticated GIS

		(Reporter 47, Apr 2002) A digital urban model created for North Sydney Council has projected the future of urban management into reality. Leica Geosystems, with its combined strengths in GIS systems development, offers such solutions supporting state-of-the-art city development. Their comprehensive program of terrestrial and global positioning systems, together with the advantages of the photogrammetric aerial camera and software of Leica Geosystems, has made it possible for Australian company, PSN Survey, to capture 1.2 million points and to create from this data a 3D model of North Sydney. more


Cadastral System Budapest

		(Reporter 44, Apr 2000) The land registration sector is a key component of our free market economy. We recognize the variety in land administrations all over the world but one thing is common, the need of a modern, well functioning land administration system which is one of the essential pillars of the free market economy and the land market. The demands for land registration activities and data is increasing year by year and a growth towards related applications like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is one of the most important changes over the last few years. more


Leica GS5+ Address Database

		In a forward-thinking move, the City of Industry decided to use a Leica GS5+ GPS receiver to record and store GPS coordinates along with each address in the database. The GS5+ unit requires absolutely no setup - it includes a built-in U.S. Coast Guard beacon receiver for performing realtime correction. The Leica GS5+ has made the City's address database extremely accurate. more


Using GPS/GIS Technology

		Analysts were able to quickly gather data from 30 bus stops in less than two hours. From this pilot GPS project, Cobb County DOT has found that obtaining precision data with the GS50 was significantly easier than with previously tried methods. more


Planning Process in Richmond

		Overall, using GIS and GPS has had a phenomenal impact on GRTC Transit. The organization has realized internal cost-savings by eliminating some of the services it previously contracted out that are now accomplished through the use of GIS and GPS technologies. The next step for GRTC is to put the mapping information onto its website. more


Infrastructure Mapping Canada

		Rob Lunn, GIS Supervisor, says, “We needed a system that could provide quick, accurate results. We had to map snow mobile trails for the parks department, and we couldn’t have done that using traditional survey methods. With GPS, we just hop on the snow mobile wearing the GPS backpack,turn it on, and off we go!” more


Maintain Roads and Highways

		Tom Phillips, GIS Manager of VDOT’s Northern Virginia District says, “The Leica receivers have helped us meet our project goals. In fact, we have expanded the use of GIS and GPS together, and the state has purchased several additional receivers since we purchased the first one in 1999.” more


Locate Schools in East Timor

		Many of the schools were located in heavily forested areas, requiring a hike through thick vegetation. Professor Joao Matos mentions that “The Leica GS50 performed particularly well in forested areas, and allowed for fast acquisition of schools. Without GPS/GIS the project would not have been feasible.” more
