The concept of GPS network design has been used and investigated in this study to compare the field cost with or without it. The goal of this paper is to show that it can be conducted economically for a GPS network, when the concept of network design has been adopted in the field. Two conducted GPS control networks have been used as the field examples to analyze the manpower used and compare the obtained precision of these coordinates and heights. From the obtained results in this article, there is a 20% saving of manpower and acceptable precision with the concept of network design to conduct the GPS control network.
