Similar to what we pay in the US when you consider the conversion rate.
Just how are you doing your own service? What is the pedigree of the TS16. Did you purchase it new or used. If it was used, I would definitely wan...
@landbutcher464mhz Temperature introduces a ppm error, not a constant.
@norm There has never been a reason not to trust linework, as long as you verify its integrity. If the creator just used CAD to sketch a concept (...
I doubt the difference would be outside of the significant figures you should be reporting area too. Say you have a 466.69'x466.69' (5 acres) track a...
Surveyors don't let friends scale to ground without truncating. Anyone that leaves bastardized grid coordinate looking like the real MacCoy should be...
I would agree that the AP20 is a little overkill for boundary work. Like I said, I still turn 3 sets to monuments. But for topo and layout, the bulk...
I love my AP20, but I'm still kind of old school on turning angle to monuments. The main exception being points where you can't get vertical were the...

Not that I do a lot of subdivision work, but once upon a time I worked for a larger engineering firm that did. Common practice, in Oregon, was to set...
@field-dog If you don't have a topo foot, consider taping a cap to the bottom of the point when taking ground shots. That should stop the point fr...

Hey Mohammad, I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to by consolidation report. I you are looking for and averaged or adjusted coordinate base...
I just finished up a design survey where an adjacent survey has the most screwed up centerline curves I've seen in years. The survey shows 4 curves a...
@norman-oklahoma I take offense to the 'old' statement 😀. I still use concave around here (convex if I want to be mischievous). If the la...
Here is a link to 5.62, the oldest I have archived. Good luck. TPS 1220
I'm not sure it matters as long as you identify the direction of the curve. if you know the curve is concave the SW and the radial lines bearing is to...
A covered bridge. Right of school I was thrown on a crew doing a design survey for a large commercial park. The place consisted of acres and acres o...
