Leica Geosystems enhances SP Technology

Leica Geosystems releases the next generation of its unique Leica SP Technology further enhancing flexibility and productivity when grading with a dozer. SP Technology now also supports machine control with total stations, providing high precision and increased grading speed in environments where GPS is not useable. This additional functionality allows users to choose the positioning sensor for their machine control system and to achieve excellent results in any environment. The innovative technology for bulldozers is revolutionizing the way contractors move dirt and fine-grade. Using an inertial system SP Technology significantly enhances grading performance, resulting in higher productivity even on challenging job sites.

2011 International Geomatic Week

Maps in three dimensions with augmented reality, teledetection in urban areas, new cartographic applications for mobile phones... This is how maps of the future will be, a topic which will be the focus of the ninth International Geomatic Week, one of the leading scientific congresses of its kind in southern Europe. Prestigious researchers, such as Monika Sester from Hanover University, Diego Alfonso Erba from the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, Brazil , and Carmen Aguilera from the European GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA), will be taking part in the event, which will be held from the 15th to the 17th of March within the setting of Fira de Barcelona's Globalgeo show.
