@lurker Truth. Friends don't let friends scale grid coordinates without truncating. The lack of meta data in these examples shows exactly why.

I have a copy a page from the Oregon Department of Transportation Route Surveying Manual from 1998 (page 21). It shows the township grid, the townshi...

@mightymoe Yeah, I figured it would be an uphill battle getting the Title company to pay up. That is the main reason I just let it go.

@mightymoe That works great for an easement benefiting the new tract across the parent. From personal experience, this does not work in the opposite ...

Because UV radiation can destroy unprotected materials just like chemicals? Unfortunately for the wordl, it just breaks it down into smaller micro pl...

Maybe I misunderstood you. Can you get a fix with the suspect CORS as your distance from that particular CORS increases or is the failure to initiali...

@bstrand Not that simple along the west coast. There are all sorts of statutory and jurisdictional hoops you need to jump through to file. Your usua...

Most networks recently switched over to MY3. Have you confirmed that the broadcast coordinates are the same as the published. That being said, I'm n...

Can't say I've seen that before. Back in the 90's I did have a crew, using a T2002, bring back some topo data where a large number of shots had almos...

As others have said, I doubt you will ever hit the maximum operating temperature of your receiver. Just looking over a couple of data sheets, both th...

It looks like the RS4 UHF only modulates using the older GMSK. While it should not be a problem because both Trimble and Leica are capable of receivi...

@protracted I think that issue would be addressed in the pre-plat phase. Most, if not all of the jurisdictions require you show utilities on the prel...

In Oregon, platted corners are now protected by a one-foot utility exclusion zone (ORS 92.044(7)).

@tom-bushelman Did you hand him a bill in return?

Professor Schultz was truly one of a kind. I'm kind of impressed he is not wearing his khaki field outfit in that photo. I would really like to get ...

Pantyhose make a good emergency fan belt. Found that out in SW Indaho when I lost a belt on my 70 SIIa Land Rover while running PPK on a proposed res...
