In the August issue on page 18 in the SURVEYING & MAPPING LAUNCHPAD they share several new Apps and products.

One app allows for; "accurate pin placement...explore golf area, land survey, golf distance meter...construction...".

i know i've related this before, but went to as-built a site that was flooding. asked the super who laid it out. he had. with an iphone. told me he couldn't figure out why we surveyors would spend tens of thousands of dollars on gps when he could just set his phone on a hub.
