Mighty, "I send coordinates on my own LDP it's pretty much useless to a GIS guy, a geologist, title people, ect," If the "GIS guy" can't deal with LDP...

Shawn, I think that 'we' (surveyors) all to often get bogged down in these mechanical issues (scale or NOT, calibrate or NOT, truncate or NOT, yadda y...

I'll ask my USUAL (semi-rhetorical) question... If "the grid" (which I assume is SPC or UTM) doesn't work for you, then WHY did you enter "it" into yo...
