I'm pretty much on board with your premise, which is don't use RTK when the distances are short. Ignoring ALTA surveys, which I would only use RTK to...

I'm kind of guessing here, but it looks the elevations changes as you go up and down the creek. It seems like the thing to do would be to prorate tho...

I know someone who is named Mike Hawk. Say that three times fast. I also have a buddy, we are both big Mopar fans, who was introduced to a Barry Cu...

My understanding is that once you start to itch from a chigger, it is already gone, so the nail polish over the bite may help it feel better, but it d...

I agree, check cables, and if not, probably the radio is going bad. I've had a couple go bad and what you are describing is the same thing we had hap...

I've never messed with it on my current GPS, but with our first HIper, yes there were certain items you could turn off, but I think you had to do when...

As far as I know, there has always been a school in Illinois that offered the required classes in surveying. At first it was SIUC. The program died ...

I'm a long time Topcon user. With our original Hipers (no glonass) it was possible to get bad fixes but not out in the open. We are now using Hiper ...

Not much you can do about it except take the class. I'm licensed in Illinois but I got mine before the education requirement kicked in. I don't thin...

I new someone about 30 years ago that was down right mean to tele markerters. If they were selling windows or siding, he would say something in his b...

I know I dealt with this working along the Mississippi River. I had done an ALTA and used a city benchmark. I ended up finding two of the benchmarks...

Doesn't the chain get longer the hotter it gets? If so, I think the corrected the tape in the correct direction. Imagine a 100 foot tape that is so ...

I'm all in. I'll just practice screaming at the top of my lungs "this survey has to be out the door at noon today", even if the deadline is in a coup...

I hate to say it, but often easements I do are written in a pretty vague manner. It all depends on the situation. An example would be something goin...

Its not Bubba Gump Shrimp is it?

My general impression of some of Kent's posts is he is trying to get the rest of us to think. I think this thread is in response to Nate's thread abo...

I use GPS for layout and rough grading also, but not usually for curb or paving stakes or foundations. The exception might be if the pavement had a l...

Mine is also in a folder under the main directory called "geodata". I have made jobs and have to go into that job and tell it where to find it.

I also like them, although for traverse I usually use a tribrach and prisim. I always felt like a mini if held directly on a point had very little er...
