With the common adoption of GNSS in land surveying, best practices have evolved with improving hardware and faster data processing. This lesson follows several surveyors as they work their way through projects, touching all aspects from initial planning up through field work. In the process they gather all the necessary data to begin processing that data.

After completing the lesson, the learner should be able to do the following:
- Perform the appropriate office planning and field reconnaissance for a successful GNSS project;
- Select the appropriate published stations and CORSs for incorporating your new stations into the NSRS and handling tropospheric effects;
- Select stations with good sky visibility for estimating accurate coordinates, taking into account current and future environmental conditions;
- Develop a project observing plan that includes travel time between stations;
- Recall the reasons why performing a careful office planning and field reconnaissance at the initiation of the project will save resources and make the field and office operation much more efficient.
