The network 1,2,3,4,5

has to be measured

from Reference

station R with three

GPS receivers.

The reference station

is set up. One Rover

occupies point 1

whilst the other

occupies point 3.

After the required

length of time, one

Rover moves to point

2 whilst the other

moves to point 4.

Then, one Rover can

return to the office

whilst the other

measures point 5.

The end result is as

above. On a subse-

quent day, the opera-

tion will be repeated

in order to check for

gross errors.

Alternatively...

Reference stations

are set up at R and

point 1. The Rover

occupies point 2.

After the required

length of time, the

Rover moves to point

3.

Similarly, the Rover

then progresses to

point 4...

...and then point 5.

The end result is a

measured network

with built-in redun-

dancy.
