- L1CCivilian GPS signal designed for interoperability between GPS and international satellite navigation systems, it uses the same frequency as L1 signal but designed for civilian use.
- L2Frequency Band of 1227.60MHz for carrying L2 Civillian (L2C) Code signals, P Code signals and M Code signals.
- L2CCivilian GPS signal designed for commercial use, has the same frequency as the L2 signal and can enable ionospheric correction when combined with L1 C/A in a dual frequency receiver.
- L5Frequence Band of 1176.45MHz for carrying In-Phase Code (I5 Code) signals and Quadraphase Code (Q5 Code) signal.

- Lagrange CorrelationMethod for polynomial interpolation in numerical analysis.
- Lagrange InterpolationNth degree polynomial approximation formula to function (f(x)) which has descrete points/values.
- Lagrange ProjectionType of Conformal Projection, it is now often used as a fundamental step for mathematical development for projections, graticules on the projection form arcs and scale distortion is most prominent at the poles.
- Lambert ProjectionA type of Conic Projection with conformal properties, mainly used for aeronautical charts, with meridians represented as straight lines converging at nearest poles.
- Lambertian ReflectionRough surface which reflects uniformly in all directions.
- Laminar FlowFlow of liquid when it travels smoothly without turbulance.

- Land DeedWritten document to record transfer of ownership of land.
- Land GrantsGrant of public land or its privileges by the governing authority.
- Land SurveyingThe technique and science to accurately determine position of points.
- Land TenureWithin common law system, it defines the individuals (owners) who holds ownership of the land.
- Land TitleProof of ownership and rights over land.
- Land UseMapping resulted from classifying raw satellite data into "land use and land cover" (LULC) categories based on the return value of the satellite image.
- Land Use MappingCategorization of land according to use (e.g. agricultural, residential, and commercial), the usage of land related to the human activities or economic functions in a specific area, like urban use, residential use.
- Landsat ProgramLandsat is a program represents the world's longest continuously acquired collection of space-based moderate-resolution land remote sensing data by a series satellites to provide images for those who work in agriculture, geology, forestry, regional planning, education, mapping, and global(...)

- Large Scale PhotographPhotos having a scale of 1:12000 or larger.
- LASER ScanningLaser Scanning is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally and rapidly captures the shape of physical objects,buildings and landscapes using laser beams.
- Late CorrelatorsCorrelator used for tracking phase and correlation peak of signal, it is when the replica signal generated from the receiver is shifted later in time than the incoming signal.
- Lateral AlignmentProcess of alignment control of survey boat, could be difficult in cases of strong current.
- LatitudeDenoted as (φ), it is an imaginary line on Earth's surface, parallel to Equator, measured at 0ᵒ - 90ᵒ North or 0ᵒ - 90ᵒ South.
