This issue was dealt with in some detail by Mike Berry in his presentation at the PLSO (Oregon) Conference this week. In it he quoted the Oregon case ...

The PLSO 2025 enters it's third and final day tomorrow. I'll get a picture from the same vantage point as 2011 tomorrow. The "deleted user" who starte...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the ALTA standards as a framework for a survey request, and modifiying it as desired. Of course if those ...

That's the way I'm leaning right now. BTW, I believe that NAVD88 will disappear, around here at least, like a fart in a windstorm once tools to estab...

I will recompute the measurements - presuming that is appropriate. If it isn't I'll remeasure the network. I'm sure that I'll check that vs. a transfo...

I routinely quote 4 decimal points in my coordinates so that inversed bearings between them will be consistent to the second, for the distances that a...

My network is constrained by ties to several levelled monuments, and will include more such ties as my network of benchmarks expands. So I think that ...

Thanks, Bill. I'm thinking that in a world where I can be in Iowa, enter an address in Beaverton, Oregon into my phone, and get turn by turn direction...

There are, I think, 9 existing passive brass marks set by the NGS or it predecessors within or very near the limits of my fair city. They are all beau...

It is going to cost more in labor to try to repurpose them than it would to just buy new. Here in Oregon you could put them out to the curb on garbage...

I get it. I simply wanted to make the point that a cogo point could be created which has absolutely no apparent presence on the screen.

I'm in a recording state and as such I see plenty of other surveyors products. There aren't many with any kind of statement of this sort and I've nev...

When a cogo point is created it is shown on the screen in accordance with the "style" you have currently set for cogo point appearance. It is quite p...

I use StarNet. That software has the option of weighting observations either by the number of turning points between marks or by the distance distance...

I have my 6th Edition of Boundary Control and Legal Principles here. On page 324, et seq, there is a discussion of the hierarchy of calls under the he...

This Hultafors folding rod was in popular use back in my days in Canada. Robust and quite compact when folded up. It seems to be a uniquely Canadian p...

Considering that the OP is in New Zealand, and as such works in metric, I doubt that a Philadelphia rod is really his best choice As for precision ...
