I use NC's free orthoimagery daily and the lidar derived surface as supplements and additional checks against blunders for aerial lidar missions. I t...

It's not easy to offer constructive criticism on a public forum. Maybe his reaction had more to do with the way you engaged him than hardheadedness. ...

Does the TDC600 work off the Android OS? A couple of weeks ago we got an automatic Android update that turned our TSC5s into fancy paperweights. Proba...

"So I’ll ask the already asked and discussed question about why don’t surveyors want their surveys recorded?" I’ll bite but I’ll not answer your quest...

I don’t see the lack of licensure being the key issue. Many Gen-X and younger surveyors have had to suffer the consequences of grandfathered PLSs who...

I think follow through is the more important issue. Easements are little troublemakers that deserve equal or perhaps more attention than parcel bound...

Great video. bc-surveyor just picked up at least one new subscriber. I particularly liked that you drew attention to, "savings", of purchasing a Chin...

I show the line surveyed just as I would on a full boundary, thick line weight with B&Ds, witnesses if present, and monuments described and labele...

It's next to impossible to accurately assess the quality of mentorship and this is a big reason for requiring formal education. I am only familiar wi...

The Zenmuse L1 isn't particularly expensive to begin with. I run one with an M350 drone and would have a hard time justifying the purchase of a used ...

I can see both sides of the argument. I've worked with college idiots and dip-spitting experience-only folks who know it all and have a large chip on...

You can take a look at the attached ASPRS standards for a general idea of what's needed. You have a steep learning curve ahead of you. There are man...

I work with a gentleman who can spin any evidence of our planet being older than around 6000 years, into the malicious work of Satan. My wife’s cousin...

I don't think there's a simple answer because people are not inherently reasonable and humans don't generally seek truth. The only thing close to a so...

One ugly option would be to explain the situation to the contractor and give him the price you'd need to resurvey the world. Then give him the contact...

Wouldn't it be more surprising if everyone was able to visualize space in exactly the same way? Aphantasia is the inability to visualize things in on...

I learned that there's a good portion of young men who become quite anxious when put in a position requiring low to mid level decision making. Whethe...
