Only a professional land surveyor can produce
the accuracy needed for this event. If you are a geospatial
professional with access to survey grade GPS equipment, you should
consider helping us set a world's record, right from where you live and
work! Only a surveyor can provide the kind of precision that will be
needed to truly understand the shape of planet earth. Just imagine how much this could help our industry.
 Create Public Awareness in Your Area of the World
Land
surveying is not a glorified profession, but the importance of land
surveyors to society and civilization is immeasurable. An event like
Survey Earth in a Day is instrumental in creating public awareness of
this importance.
On the day of the solstice June 21 2014, geospatial professionals
around the world and members of Land Surveyors United (a global support
network for land surveyors) will once again be simultaneously recording
survey grade GPS data from thousands of points around the globe, in
order to gain a more accurate understanding of the earth's surface. The
first annual Survey Earth in a Day event was successful in establishing
many new understandings between geospatial and geomatics professionals
and the general public on geospatial issues. With a mission not only to
learn more about the earth's surface but also monitor its changes over
time, and the changes in public perspective, as a global community, we
may be more capable of assessing our future.
