Kennedy M. The Global Positioning System and GIS 4ed 2025

Textbook in PDF format

Now in its fourth edition, The Global Positioning System and GIS arrives at a critical moment of transition— a time when new methods for collecting position and attribute data are reshaping how information is integrated into Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
This edition is uniquely structured to reflect this shift: each chapter is divided into two sections— one covering “Newer Technology,” including the latest advances in hardware, software, and cloud- based data collection, and the other preserving and refining “Older Technology” techniques from the third edition.
As GIS platforms represent the Earth with increasing precision and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) deliver accuracy down to the centimeter, this book equips readers with proven, practical methods for building highly accurate and actionable geospatial datasets across a wide variety of devices and platforms.—
