If I put in a coordinate of 10,000, 10,000, El.500, inverse to 20,000, 10,000, El.500 I will get due north 10,000 feet. If I put in coordinate of 10,0...
I don't know anything about what program you have, but the question is self-answering.
Well, the "correct" position should be defined by the OP. What does he want to hold. Typically, we will run control today on NAD83(2011) tied to CORS ...
Seems like the main question is: are the resulting coordinates correct or not? If they are then the system is working correctly, if they are not the...
I've seen some impossible situations. There have been a few projects show up at the office with a design in autocad without any control data. Not that...
Always, it's easy, the first step with any project.
We always did one thing once we were presented with truncated coordinates. That happened often in the days of NAD27 since people didn't want to type o...
Truncating coordinates disconnect those coordinates geographically. Without metadata they are the same as a set of 10,000, 10,000 with a compass beari...
Truncating was SOP back in the day. Normally working with state plane we would remove the million number. A northing of 1,500,000 would become 500,000...
The coordinates aren't normally scaled from the origin point of the zone. That would defeat the purpose of the project scale factor. In fact, it isn't...
They have their ways of protecting themselves. 🤔
@john-putnam I do believe you would have a rare case with that one. Title insurance almost never pays off. The one I had was like I related abov...
One valuable lesson I've learned, when creating a tract with an easement crossing the parent tract to an otherwise isolated tract, write the easement ...
We will overwrite an easement. There are a few reasons that trigger it. In the case of the OP I would terminate the easement at the property line. A...
The ALTA industry is minimal locally. Usually, it's a request from an out of state entity. Then it becomes a negotiation over tasks and price and I'm ...
ALTA surveys are amusing. There is a push by the client or the recipient to have these surveys certified to someone, or multiple entities. Then I se...
You can file surveys for free in some locations, $50 for some, for others the cost is unknown since the review burden can be overwhelming.
PC told me yesterday he was gathering some data at a hilly "conservation"/tract subdivision. Most of the corners are now marked by new brace posts clo...
