Interesting article in apple news about a land surveyor named Hygius, his home and his groma.  This may not be new news to some but gets me thinking about how far we have come and if GS is correct,  another leap frog of current technology is just around the corner.

Gavin Schrock - read his post 'just how many satellites'.  Leap frog is likely my interpretation.
