  1. What is EDM?

    Answer: Technology using electromagnetic waves to measure distances accurately

    Electromagnetic waves determine distance between points.

  2. How are horizontal distances from slope distances calculated?

    Answer: Multiply slope distance by cosine of vertical angle

    Trigonometry converts slope to horizontal measurement.

  3. What is a total station?

    Answer: Instrument combining EDM, angle measurement, and computing

    This single device does multiple measurement tasks.

  4. What is GPS/GNSS surveying?

    Answer: Using satellite signals for precise 3D positions on earth

    Satellites provide precise positioning from space.

  5. What is differential leveling?

    Answer: Determining elevation differences using backsight/foresight readings

    This technique finds height differences between points.

  6. What is photogrammetry?

    Answer: Making measurements from photographs, especially aerial, for maps and 3D models

    Photographs become measurements and maps.
