The Satellite Navigation & Positioning (SNAP) group within the School of Surveying & Spatial Information Systems, The University of New South Wales, since the early 1990s has established itself as the premier academic GPS research and development group in Australia. For many years the SNAP group has been the largest within the School of Surveying & SIS, exceeding 20 staff and graduate students.

In mid-2004, upon the appointment of Prof. Chris Rizos as its Head, some dramatic changes occurred in the staffing of the School of Surveying & SIS. The School consists of the following academic staff: Dr. Andrew Dempster (Assoc. Prof.), Dr. Jinling Wang (Senior Lecturer), Dr. Linlin Ge (Assoc. Prof.), Dr. Samsung Lim (Senior Lecturer), Dr. Craig Roberts (Senior Lecturer). Several Research Associates and Research Assistants have also been appointed over the last few years: Dr. Yong Li, Dr. Binghao Li, Dr. Michael Chang, Dr. Asghar Tabatabaei, Mr. Peter Mumford, Mr. Nonie Politi, Mr. Yong Heo and Ms. Jasmin Kim.

The SNAP group has evolved from being a large number of graduate students supervised by one or two academic staff, to the current situation where almost all of the academic/research staff of the School of Surveying & SIS have research interests in the general fields of "Navigation" and "Earth Observation", or simply known by the acronym "NEO". The SNAP web site is maintained as a portal for information on all activities of the Satellite Navigation and Positioning Laboratory, which is now organised according to several major themes:

A weekly Staff-Student Development Seminar series is a forum for researchers to present their work, in the form of progress reports, research proposals (by new PG students) or practice conference papers.
