NGS Provides Training in Celestial Navigation Using Astronomic Azimuths
This week, the National Geodetic Survey's Corbin Training Center held an Astronomic Azimuth Workshop. At the event, surveyors and subject matter experts from around the nation received hands-on instruction. Azimuth determination is a critical element of every survey. The astronomic azimuth method is quick, accurate, inexpensive, and-because it is independent of the Global Positioning System (GPS)-it can further be used to validate or verify GPS-derived azimuths.
