It makes it worse when there are two BLA's (which have to go through county review and approval) on this property and still the GIS didn't follow them...

There will come a time where everything is based on Lat, Long, Elevation. That's real surveying. Ironically, the GLO/BLM did the entire PLSS that way,...

I've been involved with similar issues. They can be fixed, but it gets complex. One I did dragged on and on, all the stake holders had to agree to a r...

I believe you're correct Mathteacher. But there are more things afoot. The push is to put 0degrees longitude through Rosewell, NM. Then things will fi...

I doubt that will ever work. Users will want "official" projections that are available as defaults in all the major programs such as AutoCad, TBC, wha...

[/quote] I'm not sure what the question is referencing. I'd need to hear the question and answer. I see the NGS zone design criteria has been relaxe...

DOT multiplies the coordinates. I used to scale around a point, back in the instrument days we would develop a scale factor between two NGS NAD27 monu...

Lets get the terms correct, Combined Scale Factors are related to a 3d point or the midpoint along a line connecting two 3d points. A Project Adjust...

Hope he gets better soon!!

Oh my!! Another story about Texas surveys. After all those comments about the superiority of Texas surveying, how all of us PLSSers were unwashed bumk...

For property survey filings please use Lat, Long on the tie, forget any XY coordinates. Tell me the basis of bearings, if you express State Plane then...

I get the sense Landbutcher might be in a state that requires ties to old NGS monumentation. Hopefully these have been occupied by GPS recently to get...

The HARN point I was checking into has an 83(2011) adjustment shown. It's a CBN. I occupied a point a couple of miles NW of it and drove over, hit it ...

As far as Lat, Long, you should see that when you enter the grid point, your DC should generate a Lat, Long from the NAD83 coordinate, if it doesn't u...

The last one I tied into was a HARN point, and I checked into it .02'h,.04'V. Not sure what you're asking, as far as converting I use Lat, Longs for c...

Same here, walk out of the office to the field and the projection is set, it never changes. It's not difficult to figure out what to use.

Great job Harold. Can you get your survey drawing into the chain of title there? That should make it record going forward.
