Hi John, as I understand it, you created the base map in QGIS. If you use the measure tool in QGIS to get the distance between two distinct features in the map (e.g. road intersections) and then measure the same distance on the printed base map with a ruler, it should be possible to calculate the

Hi Walt, I would load the dxf file with the modified building in QCAD and move/translate the data there. After saving the modified dxf file, this should import in QGIS at the correct location. You will need two reference points from the existing building structure - you could for example

Hi Maria, the position of the base station at the entrance of the valley sounds good. Before you invest a lot of money, you could rent a system and try it out in the field. Most local dealers should have devices available for rent or tests. The problem with wet conditions could have to do with

Hi Nicolas, there are several potentially accurate GNSS modules available, even sensitive choke ring antennas aren't that expensive. What's time consuming and difficult is building a whole functioning system (integration and software). This would be a great university project - develop an open

Hi Steve, I think there are two different aspects to your question: 1) Accuracy of GPS Devices I agree with others that you can't expect a better accuracy than the 10 to 30 feet you observed with a smartphone or a simple handheld GPS. This might improve by averaging, but this takes time. Survey
