ZAGREB, Aug 31 (Hina) - As part of setting up a new modern geodetic
network for the city of Zagreb, one of the principal geodetic points
was stabilised at Tomislav's Square in the centre of Zagreb last
week, by using the so-called GPS technology (Global Positioning
System). #L#
The GPS technology is based on the reception of satellite
signals, decoding by GPS receivers through high-quality numeric
processing.
This very accurately sets the positional three-dimensional co-
ordinates of any location on Earth's surface in the world geocentric
co-ordinate system (WGS'84).
The project of setting up the network of geodetic points in
Croatia envisages another principal spot on Medvedgrad, on the
Medvednica mountain, overlooking Zagreb, and four thousand geodetic
points.
With the setting up of the network of geodetic points, Croatia
will join the European geodetist system (EUREF).
Head of the project is Geodetic Faculty academician Kresimir
Colic.
