1. A position measurement system, comprising:

  • a rod having a base, the rod being configured to be disposed with the base substantially in contact with a ground surface and a longitudinal axis in a substantially vertical position; and

    a sensing subsystem coupled with the rod, the sensing subsystem comprising;

    a global navigation satellite system (“

    GNSS”

    ) device for obtaining GNSS data;

    an azimuth determination device for determining an azimuth from the position measurement system to an object of interest;

    a tilt sensor for obtaining tilt data about a tilt angle of the position measurement system; and

    a data storage device for storing data obtained by the sensing subsystem.
