Note on Plat

That's another note for the RTK museum!

I plotted the survey for you:

.

How Big Is The Survey?

At a substantial size distant points will indicate whether they are grid or ground coordinates.

Saying it is based on VRS is incomplete information. That VRS solution should be based on certain CORS on a certain day. Given that information I could download those CORS and get an independent VRS position in my software.

In essence it is not as easy to check as with complete information.

That "surveyor" may actually know how to get part of the job done properly, but obviously does not understand the tools/math/equipment and/or how to document what they did.

I try to take those doofuses with a little humor, but it gets harder every day.

This is the age of Button Pushers.

I plotted the survey for you:

yes Dave...my thoughts exactly..

Do you have what we call locally a "Engineer's or Surveyor's statement of correction"? These are filed in the normal book/page format and contain statements concerning errors on plats. For example, The plat says "xxx" it should say "yyy"

My thought is that foolish statements like that are drafting errors or a place holder to fill in the correct information that is forgotten or unknown later. Back in the drafting days I once noted a benchmark note that said "A point 24" above the top nut of the fire hydrant". It worked, but only because there was no fire hydrant at the location described. If there had been a fire hydrant in the vicinity I am 99% certain that particular PC would have worked with it.

Awesome.

Correct me if I am wrong, but with a scale factor of zero, wouldn't every single point within the plane stake out to be the point of origin?

Can I just put that note on my surveys and never go into the field again?
