As I stated above, sorry for any misinformation I may have contributed.Strength of figure is a concern in triangulation not traversing.

Apologies Moe...Upon further thought I do agree that the relatively small uncertainty in the distance measurement of a traverse point is quite effecti...

I can pretty much guarantee that TDD's angles are always strong, I mean look at those guns! 😉

Excellent point.The uncertainty in the angular measurement is the same, but the resulting positional accuracy is very different depending on network g...

No question that todays instruments are capable of measuring both distance and angle well.However the constraints inherent in geometry of the points a...

When using a reasonably accurate Stochastic model (estimations of how well you can center the instrument, level, point and read the instrument) for Le...

Be there or be square.

I agree Kent. The Ryobi gas powered drills are great. Truly sad they don't make these anymore.

More Rambling"The older I get, the dumber everybody else seems."Amen to that.

Maybe the attorney added the extra 50 minutes so he could bill for it 😉

Maybe the fence builder used a track hoe to scoop up the monument and "save it" while he installed the chain link fence around the cemetery.Then just ...

Good news Mike!Seems like a pretty kind hearted penalty, but at least the precedent was set. Hopefully landowners will file suit for any civil damage...

Not a Monument>Local builderLook something like this?

Well the last time....Yeah... I suspect that no person the face of this earth will ever live to see survey or land title nirvana.

That's right! How about a 3/8" rebar with a 1 1/4" o.d. galvanized pipe over it, with a pvc pole stuck inside of that.Hopefully 60 years from now no...
