I'm not using any special surveying software, just some code that I wrote. The controller box and remote box both have GPS units in them. The controller periodically requests the remote unit's position and just calculates the vector distance/bearing between the two units. The application was intended to work with the boxes spaced 50-5000 feet apart. I was rather surprised how well they worked very close together. The next step is to add a magnetic compass module to the controller box so that it can draw a map of the remote units in relation to the orientation of the controller box.

What type of real-time surveying software are you using? I'm looking for surveying/plotting software for Linux to keep a close on the timing stability of my Adafruit.
