SSatellite surveying… are there any industry professionals out there not using it on (almost) a daily basis? In this issue of GIM International we highlight the recent developments in positioning and navigation systems and investigate how new solutions are set to bridge the gap between RTK and PPP. Additionally, we focus on the creation of a digital twin of Germany and on the development of a virtual terrestrial laser scanner simulator as a training tool to support the learning of laser scanning processes.
