I've seen it a couple of times in Illinois, but it was the original survey work that did it. I always suspected it was a occupation thing where no on...

Hipes have a slant measure mark and a bottom of mount, although I don't think the difference is 0.30', more like a tenth.

I rarely do static work so I'm always a little worried about my post processing skills. I run my static data and compare it to a couple of OPUS solut...

Funny you post that pic, I took a Troxler test less than an hour ago.

Its kind of a random thing for me, but I just back up all the jobs in the data collector a few times a year. I don't erase the old backups but save t...

Could you have in theory shot this with a reflectorless total station?

I work for a big enough company so they take care of it, but yes, its probably just another way to get a buck out of you. You don't really have choic...
