Maponomics: The Role of Policies
Prof. Prabhakar Misra
The right changes in policies not only save the costs but generate additional opportunities and challenges for the profession
- Maponomics: Map products and their commercialisation
Dr. P. Nag
It has become imperative for the survival and flourishing of mapping organisations that their products should be market viable. These products should be directly linked with economy and its changing facets
- Maponomics: Is anybody accountable for the saving lost?
Maneesh Prasad
The potential for mapping service in the years to come can be judged from the investments made in various sectors such as electricity, telecommunication and roads & railways which will need the mapping services

Inmarsat's New Navigation Payload
Claudio Soddu, Oleg Razumovsky
Geostationary satellites (GEOs) can augment the performance of GPS - and of Russia's GLONASS - by providing a separate ranging channel to transmit integrity and correction data.
- Synergies in Handset Architecture
Gunter Heinrichs and Bernd Eissfeller
Researchers explore the possibilities of and propose guidelines for shared component use in combined GPS/CDMA cellular phones, to provide wireless positioning in handsets at reduced cost and power consumption.
- Near the Speed of Flight
Ahmed Mohamed and Rob Price
Aerial photography no longer requires costly ground control and aerial triangulation. In a new system combining GPS/inertial direct geo-referencing, LiDAR digital elevation models, and digital photography, mapping approaches the speed of flight.
- Assisted GPS: A Low Infrastructure Approach
Jimmy LaMance, Javier DeSalas, and Jani Jarvinen
Assisted GPS offers higher sensitivities and accuracies than stand-alone GPS and requires only low infrastructure costs. A reference network and an assistance server help cell phone-embedded GPS receivers deliver position solutions.
