ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for enhancing the accuracy of the elevation coordinate in a survey that uses GPS survey measurements to determine location coordinates for a plurality of survey locations. An optimal locally-best-fitting plane is combined with a geoid model that represents a local region of the Earth, in order to decrease the inaccuracy associated with an elevation coordinate in the survey to a fraction of a decimeter.
