California to Carolina - What a HUGE difference in surveying

I recently moved from Southern California to South Carolina (near Charlotte).  It's a whole different world out here in regards to surveying.  So much of what I "knew" in So Cal just doesn't apply out here (and vice versa I'm sure).  California is way stricter on mapping standards, especially with exhibits.  But Carolina requires a plat on everything.  Seems like Carolina's GPS systems are better and they rarely use a total station.  So much to learn!!!

CAR: Centerline monuments?  What are those?  

CAR: What's that?  CAL: It's a GPS antenna on a tripod.  CAR: Huh?

CAL: Fd 1" IP  CAR: You mean EIR? or Iron Pin?
