Following are some papers that you might find useful in using GPS:

“Practical GPS Surveying” — A concise guide for the surveyor that wants to use post-processed GPS for high accuracy surveys.

“Ground Coordinates” — A document dealing with the conversion of GPS positions to a ground level system.

The Magellan/Thales  FTP Site is an excellent source of information to help you get the most from your system. These are some papers I found especially informative:

Filetypes.pdf --- A breakdown of the different file types that are extracted from a raw data file.
PM3_FAQ_V1.pdf
ProMark2FAQv2.2.pdf
FAQ Z-Max 1.5.pdf
MM CE FAQ.pdf
