1. What are
Absolute
two ways a
position can Relative
be defined
2. Relative position to other landmarks or features, also called dead-reckoning
3. Absolute position coordinates of a point in space, also called position fixing
requires sophisticated equipment and precise measurements
4. What are ab- Triangulation

based on
5. Triangulation based on trigonometric rule that if one side and two angles of a triangle are
known, the remaining sides can be computed
6. theodolite surveying instrument of high precision
measure both vertical and horizontal angles
once you know your angles and distances, you can accurately figure out
and work out exact locations
