The times have certainly changed... when I started in this business it was commonplace for the company to ice down a couple cases of beer at three o'c...

I heard they had a lot of problems with the dual frequency Sonarmites but that they now have them ironed out. Back when I was in sales I sold quite a ...

It's a function of where you live and what you specialize in; no shortage of hydro work down here. But if it's not your area of expertise, a Sonarmite...

Trimble and Leica have always stated their specifications conservatively.

@flga-pls-2-2 I'm with you; as soon as the computer on the other end wants me to talk to it I start laying on the "0". I'm not talking to a damned ma...

Somewhere in this thread we went from staking a curved road to a straight line... two very different things.

@drilldo If it's a road with S-curves, as you stated, then you need to create and stake to an alignment. You don't need to create points for each sta...

It's a popular misconception that SP is more powerful and/or more complete than Access. That may have been somewhat true at one time, but that time is...

What you're suggesting would actually work fine... I'm assuming that 100' doesn't have to be balls on and that the arc and chord distances are close e...

The easiest way I can think of would be to go out and shoot the start and end points, PIs and PTs, and POCs, then build an alignment and stake to that...

I have met the enemy, and he is me... seem to remember seeing that in a cartoon. We run three man crews for the most part, it just depends on what kin...

I didn't realize how old this post was.

Survey Controller has been out of production for ten years. At least as of the last time I compared them, Trimble Access runs the S6 much better than ...

Yes.

It's been several years now since the S5, S7, and S9 replaced the 3, 6, and 8, so I would have to believe we're well into the EOL cycle. The S6 came o...

We could do it but the mob/de-mob cost would probably be too high for such a small project. It's a perfect application for either photo or lidar.
