Northern California GPS Users Group

About Us
Text Box: The Northern California GPS User’s Group (NCGPSUG) is an organization of public and private map and land survey professionals that have been meeting quarterly for over 15 years. Every quarter we meet and present some of the most knowledgeable professionals in our industry, who give lectures on specified topics pertaining to Global Positioning (GPS). Typically included are reports of work, standards, projects, and etc. from NGS and Caltrans. We are a voluntary association, having neither dues nor membership requirements beyond a desire to learn more, share more, and network within our areas of expertise. Our next meeting is scheduled for Friday, September 11th 2009 - 9:00am to Noon This September is our annual “Venders Day”! We will be featuring the representatives of the major GPS manufacturers. The most current hardware and software will be presented in lecture presentations and field operations. Come and see Leica, Topcon, and Trimble (and other providers if they respond) demonstrate “their stuff” by representatives that have “the answers”. As a special added attraction, a real world experiment will be conducted that morning demonstrating the RTN/VTN and OPUS spatial relationship.
