The surveyor I work under does not have a clear understanding of working with GPS or using Grid Coordinates. When I started working for them a few years ago everything was all total station and levels from Geodetic or hiring someone for a couple GPS points on the sites we did stakeout on. Until recently we had not planned on changing that. Now after a demo from a Survey Supplier we are getting some Carlson Rovers to be used in place of the total stations for some of the work.
After some recent conversations it has become apparent that they intend for me to be the one to learn all the ins and out and how to process the data into recordable maps.
I recently graduated from an Associate's program in Land Surveying but we did not go very deep into this topic beyond what might be covered on a board exam and some field procedures. I have used GPS before but never in an application like producing plats.
I feel that I could learn the procedures to do this task but I do not feel comfortable enough with it at this time.
How should I approach this topic professionally?
