What is difference between GIS and GPS?
The maximum degree of curve or smallest radius for a railroad is 3 degrees on a new main line track with a maximum grade of 1% compensated at 0.04% per degree of curve; therefore a grade in a 3 degree curve would actually be 0.88%. For a highway it depends on what kind, where, typical traffic, speedRead more
The maximum degree of curve or smallest radius for a railroad is 3 degrees on a new main line track with a maximum grade of 1% compensated at 0.04% per degree of curve; therefore a grade in a 3 degree curve would actually be 0.88%. For a highway it depends on what kind, where, typical traffic, speed limits, etc. Degree of curve is the angle between the radii of a curve of a 100 foot chord which is chord definition. Highway departments usually use Degree of Curve as the angle between the radii of a curve of an arc of 100 feet. For curves 3 degrees or under, the difference between the definitions staked on the ground is inconsequential.

GIS is the software used to find capture, store, manipulate, analyze, and present all types of geographical data. The main purpose is to share the geographic location and other details of a specific point on the earth. It has multiple application in our daily lives especially in construction sectorsRead more

While GPS is a global navigation satellite system that gives us time, velocity, location, etc,. The main objective is the accuracy in Position on the earth.GPS works through a technique called trilateration, which collects information to output the information.
