This is the home page of the Satellite Navigation & Positioning Laboratory (SNAP Lab) within the School of Surveying & Spatial Information Systems, at the University of New South Wales.

SNAP Lab is Australia's largest concentration of academic R&D in wireless, ground-based and satellite-based positioning technology and applications. Although our primary focus is Global Navigation Satellite Systems such as GPS, we also have active research projects in inertial navigation systems, wireless positioning systems, integrated navigation and imaging systems, and Earth Observation in general.
