Geodesy
GeoCon offers training and technical assistance in cadastre, topographic
and engineering measurements, with advanced equipment such as GPS and Total
Stations (Taquimeters). With this modern equipment you can make 3D
measurements and high precision can be achieved. Technical assistance is
also offered in the creation of geodesic networks (reference points). return

Global Positioning System
(GPS)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is used for navigation and a
great variety of geodesic applications. The signals from the GPS
satellites are received through a special receiver. The receiver
calculates the distance to the different satellites. The coordinates of
the satellite positions are known and with this information the receiver
can calculate your position. The precision of the points will depend on
the GPS equipment used and the selected measurement method. GeoCon
offers training and technical assistance in the use of GPS equipment.

Land
Surveying using Total Stations
Using a total station to create maps you can simultaneously determine
the horizontal projections of an area as well as the height of its
different points. A total station is a modern theodolite with several technological
advances. A theodolite is an instrument that is used for
measuring directions (angles), horizontally as well as vertically with
very high precision. GeoCon offers training and technical assistance in
the use of total stations.

Geo-Information
GeoCon offers its services and technical assistance in the area of
Geo-information, this is a specialization that allows the creation of
maps using digital cartography in 2 or 3 dimensions, always taking into
account the best and most useful way to present the information, this
is done to make the analysis of the information easier. Examples:
General maps, Thematic maps, etc.

Digital
Cartography
Digital Cartography is one of the most modern methods to draw and update
maps. Maps which are traditionally drawn on paper are difficult to
update because of their frequent use they deteriorate losing their precision
and legibility. When the maps are digitized, by means of a CAD
program (Computer Aided Design) like AutoCAD or Microstation, copies can
be easily generated in digital format or in paper by means of a plotter
or printer. The precision of a digital map is much better because it
wont be modified by the environment and any future changes to the map
are much easier to introduce and control with the computer. The digital
map can be obtained by means of a digitizing tablet, Total Stations,
GPS, Satellite Images or Aerial Photography. The digital geographic
information is used for the creation of Map print layouts, Geographic
Information Systems, Cadastre Systems or any other job or system related
with geographical information.
