2. 2.

   How long does Rapid Static Surveying typically last?

   Hint

   Consider the purpose of this method.

3. 3.

   What is the primary focus of Static GPS Surveying?

   • Short-term observation
   • Fixed long-term observation
   • Observation on the move

   Hint

5. 5.

   You are tasked with selecting a GPS surveying method for a project requiring millimeter-level accuracy over a wide area. Which method would you choose and why?

   Hint

   Consider the accuracy required and time constraints.

6. 6.

   Analyze a situation where urban conditions prevent GPS signals from reaching receivers adequately. Which method would best mitigate this issue?

   Hint

   Think about the advantages of stopping in urban canyons.
