We don't have a network, the only thing available for me is Trimble's ProPoint technology. However, testing by my office got less than ideal results. ...

I'm seeing similar results. Newer GPS units are freakishly accurate.

Back in my early days, I sat on centerline for everything all the time. We built highways, railroads, dams, powerlines; all of it was centerline focus...

I'll pass on centerline as a survey control monument. Boundary control for sure.

I've never seen one placed on centerline, is it possible, I suppose anything's possible.

By highway control, I mean control set for, property location, mapping, design, construction, ect. (I'm inferring the OP meant this). Even on a divide...

Lots to unpack there. I'm not against collecting the data. I personally would love to have that database. I don't know your situation with res...

All the COE monuments I tie into locally show up on their plan sets. Those I got from the city years ago. The monument may be only a control point...

We found a third one that matched the small ones, which was the original surveyor's survey (at least I think it was). So we held the little ones and d...

I really dislike the d.ddd format. I dislike it in lat, longs. and I dislike as an Azimuth. I can see it used as an Azimuth notation, but it's offen...

98d55' and 98.95d are essentially the same thing.
