Duke Opens New Ordnance Survey Head Office06/10/2011 |
| His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh officially opened Ordnance Survey's new head office in Southampton, UK, on 4th October 2011. During his visit, the Duke experienced how Ordnance Survey uses 3D technology, similar to that found in cinemas, to pinpoint changes to the landscape. The Duke also met one of Ordnance Survey's 250 surveyors who make 5,000 changes a day to the digital master map of Great Britain using satellite technology that is accurate to just a few centimetres. |

The Duke then addressed staff at the mapping agency before unveiling a commemorative plaque. The Duke said: "I know from just in the ordinary course of events using Ordnance Survey maps what a remarkable service it provides for people all over the country. And I do hope you feel what an enormous contribution you're making to life in this country."
Children from the nearby Explorers nursery were also invited to meet the Duke and waved Union Flags as he arrived and left the building.

A total station can be used for many applications. Oak Ridge Associated Universities (USA) uses a total station for indoor radiation characterisation, which enables the team to better perform environmental assessments. This video shows how it is done.
