Some ppl

Also our job to be clear about what we find and what we set and do the best job possible so the next guy can retrace our steps and understand the deci...

I have to admit, upside down north arrows bother me as well. I generally keep everything rotated north for simplicity.

@dmyhill I’m curious if you computed the acreage based on the boundary B&D and then topo the whole parcel and created a surface would the acreage ...

@stephen-ward another problem I had with the Trimble bipods with the “foot” was it seemed it was always turned the wrong way to step in.

Am I to assume when you trace back the deed description for both parent tracts that the pipe was the original monument? If that’s the case I would hol...

@sergeant-schultz Occasionally, I’ll take my laptop to the field with me but I bet that’s even handier. Wonder if anyone makes a DC that will draw con...

The region I work in ppl aren’t very confrontational and are generally reasonable. The handful of times I’ve had run ins with landowners I just explai...

Interesting, I’ll have to give it a try with the ole fc6000. Might be a little easier importing and exporting points instead of using the touch screen...

When you say an averaged coordinate, are you saying you set up the base on a point and clicked “here”? Also, are you set up for running static?

@fairbanksls I would assume to allow some tolerance for imperfect measurement. Perhaps they’re other reasons as well. ‍♂️

Always figured if I ever had to start carrying for self defense then it’s time to seek another profession. Also, not sure I’ve ever seen a plat or d...

To questions arise: 1 - One of the corners was a Iron Axle sticking out of the ground approximately 1'. It's leaning about 20-25 degrees. Where w...

Some some contractors only need a couple BM’s and the centerlines with offsets and some want everything staked.

I guess a simple setup, turn, and shoot for something like a large boundary survey wouldn’t bother me too much. Definitely wouldn’t throw another setu...

Also remember a guy who set two points barely 100’ apart with GPS then came back later with TS to locate a pin at least double the distance in the woo...

I've seen other guys that won't do a resection but they will setup and backsight a point 40 meters away and shoot a point 60 meters away, then check i...

@michigan-left I apologize I got a little off topic I was talking about site calibrations in general not just GPS however there is obviously a need so...

It may be for some people using an existing projection is simpler and if it’s precise enough to be within tolerances then calibration isn’t necessary,...

@beuckie cool, thanks. I’ll have to give that a try. That would be much less time consuming than exporting all the points, then opening the excel file...
