Pathfinder Navigation is the company to call for Aerial Surveying & Mapping, Geophysical Surveying, GIS Mapping, Survey Line Clearing, and Aerial Imagery Processing. Both experienced and innovative, Pathfinder Navigation has always strived to be an early adopter of technology. The first survey company to offer backpack style INS surveying, early adopters of Drone technology for mapping and now airplane-based mapping and surveying for seismic work and other industries helped by the latest software available.

Our Management staff have over 75 years of experience in inertial and GPS methodologies along with an incomparable knowledge of large scale databasing, processing and mapping of survey information. Geophysical (Seismic) surveys provide a rapid, non-invasive method to determine characteristics of Earths subsurface. Pathfinder offers accurate surface point location and mapping that is the start of any successful seismic program.

We have completed hundreds of digitizing projects and databasing for oil and gas exploration.
Services
Pathfinder Navigation helped develop and underwrote an inertial survey backpack system with Applanix Corp. starting in 2000.
Based on this technology, Pathfinder was formed to utilize this technology to survey in GPS denied areas.
Pathfinder has gone on to survey thousands of square miles of under canopy 3D seismic shoots with our POS/LS survey backpacks.
We have also worked with the department of defence in helping with navigation solutions in areas where GPS is less reliable and/or denied for any reason.
Pathfinder Surveying & Mapping Services is a leader in surveying and mapping services.
Both experienced and on the leading edge of technology, Pathfinder Navigation was the first geophysical survey company to use backpack mounted Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) for accuracy and productivity under canopy, and is using the latest in GPS-Glonass receivers, Ground Penetrating Radars and Brush cutting technologies for superior survey results.
Our senior surveyors have over 100 years of combined experience in INS and GPS methodologies as well as an incomparable level of knowledge of database handling and data processing, managing and mapping in the office.
Management at Pathfinder had their start in Geophysical surveying back in 1981.
Pathfinder was formed in 1999 to develop an Inertial based survey solution with Applanix corp.
We also employ the use of survey grade Dual Frequency Trimble GPS RTK units.
Large open area programs in areas such as West Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas lend themselves for GPS surveying as opposed to Inertial surveying.
Pathfinder has gone on to become one of the larger Geophysical survey contractors in the US.
Our client list includes Exxon, BP, Shell, Devon, Anadarko and many other Oil companies.
Geophysical programs generate massive amounts of data all of which needs to be databased and easily accessible by the end user.
ESRI ArcGIS (ARCView) along with Trimble's GPSeimic are used to handle these large amounts of data.
ArcGIS allows us to database all data acquired in one place and access in a multitude of ways.
We now offer digitizing services from client supplied images or photos that we have acquired with our aerial service.
We also have personnel on the ground that record GIS data through several types of data collection methods.
Pathfinder has a dedicated team that specializes in clearing right-of-way lines, Seismic lines and walking trails for a variety of industries.
Stihl brushing saws are used exclusively by our teams to clear walking paths.
This method ensures a path is clear of smaller saplings cut at angles (punji sticks) or several inches above the ground which creates a tripping hazard to people walking the lines.
We can offer hourly rates or on larger projects a turnkey (fixed price) quote can be offered.
We have an extensive safety program and training to ensure that our crews work in a safe manner and will get the job done problem free.
