I have a Trimble Recon data collector, and I want to use it as a GPS navigator. I bought a "Recon Ultra" CF card and an I Treck GPS receiver with ante...

I've been using it for several months, and I haven't noticed any significant changes compared to the previous version, 2025. It requested 40 gigabytes...

@jim-frame Fortunately it is not really necessary to understand that bafflegab. The software and its writer understands it so you don't have to. Ju...

Gary Kent, no doubt. I've heard those stories as well. I usually label things like that "Area of Interest", or similar, and avoid using the word "encr...

I worked a job in Wickenburg, AZ in the summer of 1985. It got about that hot every day. We would start at 4am and knock off at noon, by which time it...

@rfc That's the stuff. Zip them up and post them.  

At one time other sizes were common. State law specifies no size for Records of Survey, but does specify that subdivision plats must be on 18"x24". Th...

Some 30 years ago the Portland area County Surveyors issued the following document. Subsequent County Surveyors have slightly modified it over the yea...

A repeater radio broadcasting at 35w should give you 20+km of range. Beyond that RTK is not an option anyway.

Some thoughts: 1. A professional cannot disclaim away their professional obligations. Bugger the disclaimer. 2. The syntax of the disclaimer rev...

Until relatively recently we had a 2006 model Leica TCRA1203 (I think that is right) in service. We had upgraded the data collector used with it to a ...
