Features: With the rapid development of modern science and technology, advanced technologies have been widely applied in the field of surveying and mapping. Surveying instruments have gradually incorporated physical optics, electronic devices, and software systems, evolving into modern electronic measuring instruments that integrate optics, mechanics, electronics, and software. Their functionality, accuracy, and automation levels have also significantly increased and improved. To adapt to the new trends in surveying and mapping education, this book has added content on electronic theodolites, total stations, GPS, and digital mapping, while removing outdated material and topics less relevant to transportation and civil engineering construction, in line with the requirements of educational reform. It aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of new surveying technologies while focusing on mastering the fundamental theories and basic skills of surveying through limited study and practical experience. This book places a particular emphasis on the engineering applications of surveying and mapping, specifically targeting its use in transportation and civil engineering.
