How did YOU find it? Reasonable question. On our survey there was an old County Surveyors record book that few took the time to review or perhaps d...

@james-vianna 10 years and two lots would likely have changed my approach in my situation. I felt like this was one of the more difficult decisions ...

Probably 30 years ago I had a situation that looked very similar to that. It was a center section of course. Difference was the iron was about 50 year...

I'm not here to promote what I use. I'm semi to fully retired and use it sparingly as a rover on a free RTK network and/or static survey. I might or m...

Almost too simple to answer That unfortunate attitude is probably the reason I never received a response. The difference I saw is not important bu...

I never could get an answer from Topcon on how the weighted average works so we did our own. I could never get exactly the same answer as Magnet altho...

@themonkeyman We've used that store as check point option a lot. We like it too. We used to assign a new name to every check point. I believe when t...

@leegreen That will teach me to use one of the old free desktop version. Why they would drop that function is a curiosity.

Since we went to a foot, why didnt we just go to meters It was tried in the 90s.

You actually switched to the foot. on December 31, 2022. After that date, the “U.S. survey foot” will be superseded by the “foot” (formerly known as ...

1. Export/to file/data-points (check use filters) / next / Filter by range 2. Cant answer not knowing how Carlson control file is used.

Do yall have a rule of thumb that is a ratio or multiplier of say a topo or mapping or even a boundary survey Its not that simple. The time it take...

Time for confession. I've used the same NAD83 datum selection on my field software whilst surveying as I used 20 years ago. Even though the coordinate...

@mathteacher It gives you a GIS accurate datum if that. No need to worry about what flavor of NAD83 you are in if you are autonomous.

What do you get then? An autonomous position relative only to the base point . btw, some network rover software let users define their own position...

Mathematically yes, practically no. Local needle attraction. Use of Jacobs staff at best. Who knows what method at worst. Not to mention transcription...

@dougie Well, we did have Survey Party signs back then. Swinging Plumb bob, reading a level rod with a theodolite. Not sure what the guy next to the...

@larryj Wrong tool for the job sir. Leveling Accuracy:LMH-CLMH, LMH-GR±3/32-in at 100-ft (±3mm at 30m)±1/16-in at 100-ft (±1.5mm at 30m) Leveling ...
