The control and survey and setting out of plane position play an irreplaceable role in engineering projects,and the establishment of high-precision plane control network is crucial in large projects such as rivers,bridges,lakes and roads.The emergence of GPS survey technology and its wide application in engineering projects show its efficiency and stability.GPS survey technology is welcomed by construction survey personnel because of its high efficiency and convenience.This paper analyzes and further studies the error of GPS survey technology to ensure its application and development in engineering survey.
