That seems like a reasonable response if the client is a cautious person. They have enough information to go look at the site or find it on a GIS. T...
In the backstretch numbers 2, 4, and 10 are running almost neck and neck with several on their heels ... and as they go into the clubhouse turn, numb...
What was the question?I think you swapped a couple digits. Is it 1022 or 1202?Are your numbers the mark-to-mark 3-D distance, the horizontal distance...
10. The rarity of the situation makes up for the hazy quality of the photo.I liked several of the others. My second choice was 6, the surveyor on th...
Careful there. The newcomer may not recognize the [sarcasm]sarcasm font[/sarcasm].GIS is the cause of much confustion, because it is quite often off ...
I was sorry I was unable to go to the Surveyors Historical Society event last year, and so missed the chance to look for Ellicott mounds.I wonder if M...
Get quotes from 3 surveyors who routinely work in your area. Give them copies of the deed and any other official documents. And the sketch, which do...
If it is truly random error, you are better off with more measurements.If some systematic error dominates, then doing it under different conditions, e...
As you can see from those discussions, the answer may vary by jurisdiction, and there is a wide range of opinion even within a jurisdiction.In the end...
Still need a solution methodIt depends on your definition of the integer. Mine are the integer number of 2-meter "cycle" distances, not the (even) nu...
Still need a solution methodI'm still waiting for a hi-brow solution method.
I'm not a professional surveyor or archaeologist. Just an wise-a$$ amateur who knows how his Garmin behaves and has read the Juno specs. My status o...
More of the storyI asked the guy in charge about getting another reading on our location, but he didn't really do a comparison to the other one. I go...
YMMV in various jurisdictions.My own view is that determining where the corners are is land surveying. If a licensed surveyor has determined that the...

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but might be useful. It calculates the curve formulas from any reasonable combination of parameters.There...
No nice solution occurs to me, so I brute forced it. I plotted the points on paper and drew circles of the various radii, e.g., for A I plotted 10.88...
