What are you talking about? If there are monuments, who needs a touchscreen? Are you even reading the comments?
The fact that you think this is something new (and thus a "touchscreen" issue) is amusing to me. This is LESS LIKELY with a touchscreen. You have so much power, information, etc in your hand that you can make decisions on the spot that required multiple trips in the past. Most of the pincushions I find are from 90's and maybe the 00's. They were set because trying to figure out how the last guy got there would take forever.
What I know is that at least three surveyors have come along obviously using their skills as surveyors and set a series of lots and managed to get all the distances right and in straight lines. These acts constituent property corners. One guy, like many of our profession, can't stand an inexact bearing and sets an illegal monument which makes him feel better but this is NOT a retracement it is merely an exact calculation from a proven non original monument. That is not better logic. It is a better calculation. I'm stamping the inexact monuments.?ÿ
I spell a lot better than it looks
There are always going to be people who can rationalize harming others in their pursuit of order. Unfortunately, the PLSS provides them with a template.
I attended for about a year back in 2007/2008. I had Professor Chace for most of my surveying courses but I did have you for my boundaries/legal descriptions related course (I can't remember the actual name). Great program and I am very disappointed to hear that they discontinued it.
Thank you! We didn't get cancelled because we were not a great program. It's complicated and local politics involved so don't want to comment publicly.
I understand. Well one of my biggest regrets is having left the program without graduating. I am now licensed in Colorado of course, but without going back to school and finishing I am very limited as to where else in the country I can become licensed. Small world though and glad to catch up with you here!
Love to hear you are licensed! Hope we had at least a little to do with it:) Check out the online options, there's an awful lot of them these days. Any legitimate online program (or bricks and mortar for that matter) would accept credits from our program.
