I have the 2nd edition. It's so full of typos and other mistakes that it's hard to read. When I first got it I compiled several pages of goofs and s...

Since CRTN is aligned with the NSRS NAD83(2011), as long as your coordinate system is set to NAD83(2011) you can use the CRTN horizontal values as-is....

I'm not a railroad expert -- fortunately, in my area most them run straight as an arrow for miles (my local depot notwithstanding, it's at a 3-way int...

I wonder how much value adding other constellations to a 2+ hour observation brings to the table. I've always thought that a GPS L1-fixed (or iono-fr...

I've been using Xnview for many years and have never had a problem of any kind, let alone a problem with OneDrive interaction. I appear to have OneDr...

I use Xnview for this. It's free for non-commercial use, a license is required for commercial use. (If you figure out how to obtain a commercial lic...

Same idea, different format. Been carrying one of these in my vest for decades.

I guess I don't understand the question. If you can see all corners from one setup, why not just BS the first (always D/R), FS the second, BS the sec...

I use the same rod for both TS and RTK: a Seco carbon-fiber unit with a standard screw-based friction lock.

Slightly used? It looks like it was used to chop line.

The one time this happened to me it was a $5k job. I sued in Small Claims Court and won, but the client was judgment proof. (The judge erred in barr...

Offer to provide the CAD files for a fee. $15k ought to do it.

Won't the current owner's name appear on the deed? I always pull the adjoiner deeds anyway to make sure there aren't any inconsistencies that need to...

Sorry to hear. I had a few nice exchanges with Jerry after I posted about watching U2 touch-and-goes at Beale AFB.

I don't know if this is relevant to the discussion or not, but I recall reading something years ago about how the aging of some total station componen...
