Geodetic azimuth is when you measure in a Brunton compass from 0 to 360 degrees clockwise.
in plane survey the surface of earth assume as plane or straight its uses as limited distance where as in geodetic survey surface of earth assume as curve its use in long distance.
Antenna gain of base station for a specific user depends on antenna pattern, antenna orientation (azimuth and tilt) and user's coordinates with respect to base station.
It is possible to make your own Dobsonian telescope. It can be quite costly to do so due to the Pyrex lenses. It is an alt-azimuth Newtonian style scope that collects light.
A triangulation pillar is a fixed structure used in geodetic surveying to define specific points on the Earth's surface for triangulation purposes. These pillars are often made of concrete or stone and are strategically placed in visible locations to facilitate the measurement of angles between them. Surveyors use these points to create detailed maps and to determine distances and elevations. Triangulation pillars play a crucial role in establishing accurate geographic coordinates and enhancing spatial data accuracy.
Positions in the sky are measured by angles. The simplest is the altitude, the angle above the horizon, and the azimuth, the direction measured running eastwards from north. There are other systems but always two coordinates are needed to specify a direction. Star positions are measured with a transit-circle, which always faces exactly south, and the stars are timed as they cross the meridian. The altitude gives the star's declination in degrees and the time gives the right-ascension in hours and minutes after a standard direction known as the First Point of Aries has passed.
Astronomical azimuth is measured from true north, while geodetic azimuth is measured from the north-south line of a geodetic datum. In other words, astronomical azimuth uses the Earth's axis as reference, while geodetic azimuth is corrected for the Earth's shape and gravity. This difference leads to variations in azimuth readings, especially over long distances.
The North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) is "Thehorizontal control datum for the United States that (was) defined by (a) location and azimuth on the Clarke spheroid of 1866, with origin at (the survey station) Meades Ranch." ... The geoidal height at Meades Ranch (was) assumed to be zero. "Geodetic positions on the North American Datum of 1927 were derived from the (coordinates of and an azimuth at Meades Ranch) through a readjustment of the triangulation of the entire network in which Laplace azimuths were introduced, and the Bowie method was used." (Geodetic Glossary, pp. 57)
A BACK AZIMUTH IS A PROJECTION OF THE AZIMUTH FROM THE ORIGIN TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE AZIMUTH CIRCLE. i.e. THERE ARE 360 DEGREES IN AN AZIMUTH CIRCLE, THUS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION IS 180 DEGREES.
An azimuth thruster is an engine and ship's propeller in a pod which is azimuth adjustable.
To convert a magnetic azimuth to grid azimuth, subtract G-M angle.” If you have a magnetic azimuth of 270 degrees, and the G-M angle is 8 degrees, your grid azimuth will be 262 degrees.

A geodetic theodolite is a precise surveying instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles in geodetic surveying. It is designed for high-accuracy measurements required in geodetic surveying applications such as mapping, construction, and infrastructure development. Geodetic theodolites are typically equipped with electronic distance measurement capabilities for increased accuracy and efficiency.
U.S. National Geodetic Survey was created in 1807.
The point from where an azimuth originates is the center of an imaginary circle.
RBG-Azimuth was created in 2006.
Azimuth Systems was created in 2002.
