The whole Europe at least AFAIK. For at least 50 years now.

No one uses gradians as a standard angle measurement in Europe. It is mostly degrees. I use radians a lot as an electrical engineer.
I was under the impression gradians is used by the mining industry.

Edit: I think I misread your post. I guess you were saying the whole of the European surveying industry uses it. That I do not know and can't comment on.
