Sounds like they scaled the coordinates from 0,0. In the example I used above, you'll notice a difference of about 50 feet in the northing. With more ...
I bought a SIM card from TMobile after I had been told by them it would work on a prepaid basis at a cost of 1-2$ per day, only on days used. Then I g...
I just want to say thanks to all of you who posted on this topic. This forum is truly an amazing resource.
OK, now I see where you're coming from. Thanks for all the help.

Absolutely, a great question. One that derives from a requirement of the DOT here, and the need/want of GIS folks to be able to incorporate projects ...

OK, then, so I think you're suggesting that where the project size is small and where the combined scale factor is negligible, that it might be approp...

OK, Moe, so here's an example. I just want to make sure I understand the method that you're using for your DOT projects:I've got a nail in the ground...
Big AlOK, that's what I was thinking. Thanks, Loyal.Interesting to me is that you write about the scale factor being used to convert a DISTANCE from ...
Earl,I've read your paper #20 in the past, and it is very interesting. My hesitancy with it is that I have an impression that the equipment that I ha...

I'm willing to consider a low distortion projection for this project. Can someone suggest a good resource explaining how to do it?

Yup, I agree. The ring he wears in the photos doesn't look like a ring a surveyor would wear. And his username is weird too. myamimoney.So, let's s...
I've been working on getting set up with a GSM internet connection on my Allegro CX, and it's been really difficult to get real information from AT&am...
Looks maybe stolen to me too. The photo you reference showing the finger over the serial number - that was done on purpose to hide the serial number....
Well, I just ordered this setup.
