The control sheet looks to be for a municipal infrastructure survey. It was Mid 2010's and should be very recoverable unless all the points have been ...
My process would be to occupy the control with state plane projected into my field file in the DC. When the points are located the DC correctly applie...
950.15' x combined scale factor of .999853 = 950.01'. That's what you're seeing isn't it?

I've been making good money from GIS data. Fixing it that is. One of the biggest creators of work for me is Onyx, I get lots of work cause of them.
I've not known val maps to be projected to anything. You might have to tell us how you got them to show up anywhere near their real world location. I ...
Have you used a bluetooth keyboard with it in the field?
You can use it as a phone, but I'm not going to, it's big for that purpose. Plus I want it in its field holder all the time.
