First question, BrianWhat if there was a previous survey of record that accepted the fence based upon evidence of an agreement?There are two possibili...

I wouldn't tell them the mathematical details about the fence. They are probably going to ask though so you need to be prepared.If I get the chance I...

I'm wondering300 feet is a long way. What if your client had given you the pre-survey tour and told you the fence was the boundary, maybe even the ne...

Leon.Maybe so. At 31 47 45.28N & 95 09 02.15W 160M (525ft) I get your scale factor would be 1.000020896. That's about 0.02ft per 1000 feet or 0...

It's called the ......From my view the surveyors duty is to seek out the evidence and such to determine whether a line is established by acquiescence....

What happens with a paid insurance claim if the stolen property is recovered? Excluding fraud, wouldn't the property then belong to the insurance com...

Kind of weird that we want to use SPC's yet express survey data in the real ground based distances and earth based bearings. Maybe one shouldn't be u...

I'd use your system if it could be run on my Trimble field systems and TBC as another "projection". I'd assume you have probably tried. You have a l...

Kris, you are working way to hard.I believe you have Trimble gear.So try this on one of your projects. Take one you already have in Trimble Business ...

Kent believes lat and long are a derivative of SPC's, that geodetic coordinates come from the projection. Those of us that work with RTK and have as ...

What is happening and will take over is GIS. The GIS will be loaded (eventually) with hard geodetic coordinates (Lat, Long and Ht or ECEF X, Y & ...

Once your data is entered into a geodetic data base (lat, long & Height or ECEF X, Y & Z) you have every projection at you fingertips. I can ...

Did it change much from Geoid09? We still have only a few bench marks. Has the real gravity field been inserted into 12a?Looks to be fairly steep in...

Kent, you write very detailed descriptions. You are very good at it. They go on for pages. Why it would be a burden to put just a few lines in ther...

That is the judgement factor and I'd say you applied it very well.

LDP's are standard for me and have become very simple (small ones). I'd take the approach of fixing the Origin to a monument on the ground. This ori...

I'd be concerned about the 1/4 on the south face. Brings up the possibility that the stone has been dug up and moved around. Did they put it back in...

Actually on a slope in areas that freeze I think all soils will move downhill above frost depth. I've found stones that were about horizontal. Longe...

What if you live an a clay mountain side? Say your markers are moving down slope at 0.04 feet per year. OK they are all moving and so is your improv...

Maybe it would be better to not place any monuments in unstable areas, remove the uncertainty, and only use the CORS coordinates. Avoid the problem.
