FLAT EARTH SURVEYOR, seriously?

I've decided to become a flat earth surveyor. All my elevations are 0.

@jonathan50

Not if you're using GPS. How's that suppose to work with satellites when the earth is flat anyway. Do they just travel in a straight line off into infinity or do they just bounce back and forth like a game of pong.

@williwaw but then those spherical coordinates then are converted to plane coordinates before you can do anything with it.

@mightymoe

and all distances are horizontal distances?ÿ

@jonathan50

Nothing preventing someone from working in spherical coordinates. SPC/UTM are optional.

I wonder if the Great Trigonometric Survey of India was entirely in spherical coordinates. ?ÿ

@jonathan50

But not your elevations. XY can be plane, Z not.?ÿ
