a. tracking a trophy whitetail deer
b. accurate construction surveying
c. an on-board navigation system in a Lincoln Navigator
d. a defense system against nuclear attacl
2.A term that best describes near instantaneous read-out of coordinate points during construction surveying layout is:
a. quick time positioning
b. pole positioning
c. fast track layout
d. real-time positioning
3.The functional difference between a high-end GPS surveying system and a low-endGPS hand held navigation system is the?
a. frequency at which satellites communicate with the system
b. amount of transistor components in each unit
c. number of channels available in order to track several satellites at one time
d. number of preprogrammed stations that are available to the user
4.The direct correlation to an increase in the number of satellites being tracked by a receiver is a(an):
