I will also set pairs of points to shoot a point in the trees, but I'm setting a pair of points with RTK that are a few hundred feet apart, and then taking a fairly short shot directly on the corner I need, no additional traverse points from my RTK points. I'd say it would be O.K. to start on GPS points and close on a second pair with traverse inbetween.
Dane:
Seriously, your posts are near impossible to read. 🙂
PETE
WHAT CAN'T YOU READ THIS?
LOL
Kris
Respectfully,I perfer to use fastatic(at least) and network adjust boundary evidence collected. That is jut my take on it, I do not mean to impune your methodology.
Dane
There is a whole punctuation thing going on with the keyboard with nift commas and periods and other punctuation. Try it, you'll like it.
kris
what are you the grammar police?
e.e. cummings was RIGHT!
The City of New York is apparently going to spend 27 million dollars to change the street signs on all the lampposts.
Currently, they read like this:
YELLOWSTONE BLVD
They want to change them to this:
Yellowstone Blvd
The Federal Highway Administration says the change should help prevent road accidents because lower-cased letters with wider spacing are easier to read, meaning drivers can keep their eyes on the road. The new regulations also require a change in font from the standard highway typeface to Clearview, which was specially developed for this purpose. This will require even replacing street signs that contain only numbers as well.
According to the NYC DOT, there are about 250,900 signs.
Officials have started replacing signs in the Bronx, the city’s northernmost borough, and will move on to Manhattan in the coming months. New York city officials say all signs will be replaced by 2018, even though the national rules state existing capitalized signs can be kept until they wear out.
I can't speak for other areas, but here in the Metro area, all the Interstate Highway signs are using the Clearview upper and lower case font.

Evidently, someone needs to school you. Peter and I have apparently taken the role for today, but the schedule doesn't have us down for tomorrow. I think that Angelo or Kent is up, but I'm not sure.
It's a revolving process but I'm sure you understand.
We had a village idiot who decided that 100+ year old subdivision plats were gospel. He would shoot what appeared to now be the corners of the subdivision perimeter, then prorate everything inside the boundary to fit. Prior surveys be damned. I'm surprised a gang of locals didn't shoot him shortly after he started doing this.
kris, are yiou kidding
don't realy care folks post what they post
it is tiresome to put up the the grammar and spelling police
so i'd rather if you have nothing purposeful to say or to the point, that you just skip it.....
Dane
Listen, I checked the schedule and Dan McCabe has spelling and grammar police patrol tomorrow. I have to fulfill my duty and tell you reading your posts is akin to reading a fourth graders writing assignment. I hope your business communications are better than your posts, for you reputations sake.
GPS in the right hands.
>I'm guessing the surveyor mentioned in your post is bringing in geodetic control from miles away, not boundary control. I don't see a problem with that,
What good is geodetic control for a 1922 map? He moved the lot line three times.
GIGO
I see nothing wrong with using any method to collect data, as long as the operator knows the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of his equipment.
Two weeks ago one of the local surveyors came in the office to pick up some plats relative to an area he's working, and told us his new crew chief just isn't working out, apparently one of the 'two years of experience ten times' crowd.
He requires angles be doubled on all swing ties, a bit excessive sometimes but as it is his company, his rules. He had to explain to this PC first how to double an angle, then how to check it. The guy came in after turning angles to an iron found that was 6 feet from the setup, and said there was something wrong with the gun, wouldn't double any better than two minutes.
They had turned over a dozen sets, every one of them within .004'.
Back on topic, GIGO seems to be alive and well and has found a new home here with the GIS crowd. We have been working an area for over a month now for a court case and have compiled data for 5 subdivisions, two grant sections with 14 dependent lots to the grant sections, and one PLSS section with 4 dependent lots pertinent to our job. The county is acquiring some adjacent property and two days ago sent the GIS guys out to flag property lines, so when the supervisors come out they can see where the lines go.
We talked to them yesterday, which cleared up where the flagging that mysteriously appeared 75' east of us came from. Yep, look at the online tax data overlayed on the aerials, and guess what?, tax parcel lines, including right of ways, are off by about 75' to the east.
