That sounds...screwy. Ungreased bearings causing problems with turned angles...on a magnetically driven total station? Not saying it's impossible, I'm...

Whether our data are RTK, NRTK, static, PPK, total station, taping, etc., relative positional precision is evaluated by the prescribed method per ALTA...

I always had Trimble equipment before and am still getting used to Topcon.My condolences... I also would first suspect latency as being the most like...

I don't think the market's changed that much yet. There's still plenty of work out there. But there have been, and always will be, clients who employ ...

Man, I love that I can find a couple monument cases using street views, grab their LL, transform, and hang my calculated plats/subdivisions/ROS off of...

UNAVCO operates in ITRF, or at least all of the static data I have ever downloaded contained an ITRF position in the RINEX header. Causes headaches fo...

A couple of things I thought about, bearing in mind that while I interface with my colleagues in our CA offices fairly regularly, I'm not an expert on...

I used to do a lot more outreach. I really should get back into it. I always found that the high schoolers like to play with the tech, but if any of t...

This will also reduce the need to change rod heights as often since you can lean the pole to avoid obstacles. We don't even use adjustable rods for GN...

Ugh, I've had Wattles borrowed and not returned twice - I'm on my third copy $$$. It's definitely out of print and might be a little out of date, alth...

But the Virginia Association of Surveyors puts on a course every year called the John Foster School. Its 4 days. It’s geared more to preparing you for...

I'll second the Caltrans videos...probably the most well-laid out and relevant resource if you're looking for actual videos and lectures. I highly rec...

Damn, I had a copy of that sucker on my old laptop, and now I can't find it. Maricopa County Book 800, Page 24 of Surveys. Not sure how that stuck wit...

Where's the "none of the above" answer? Edit: Probably should taken my time and computed the sample variance rather than the population variance befor...

JXLs do not contain static or PPK logging data files - those are always stored in the receiver (or possibly on the controller if someone really likes ...

Not particularly. Maybe half a million population? Definitely one of my favorite places to visit. My parents live in Prescott, and I always try to get...

Good advice here. Always check with the local floodplain manager if in doubt. I always read this item as "get the lowest elevation of the slab or flo...

There a couple of possibilities for the error given the respective versions of JXL and TBC, but in my experience this is usually related to a prior TB...

I might check from another setup if I think there is a problem, or if it's really high-pressure work, but if I know my gear is in adjustment and I am ...

CMRx is a LOT more compact than RTCM, so latency is definitely going to increase. It might even cause constellations to drop out of the solution becau...
