If I remember correctly, there are only a couple of states with straight race statutes, and the rest are about evenly split between notice and race/no...

@toivo1037 Unless someone explicitly requests it in writing, I'm going to stake design grades, not perspectives.If a rough design grade is 150.0', a...

IMO, it really doesn't matter too much what it was being graded. When the contractor is better at measuring than the surveyor being paid to lay it ou...

I always write my own translators, that fits better with my workflow. This is the way to go. If I remember correctly, TLV files are just comma d...

No problem putting an imagery layer into deliverables, as long as we cite the source and make it clear that we did simply referenced it in as a supple...

Back in the day, we kept horizontal and vertical separate. Today, we enjoy the best of both worlds. Just like everything we do; it's all about procedu...

Is bringing ground observations to grid the only approach to use when mixing the GNSS with a total station? Either that or bringing GNSS measuremen...

In addition to all of the research, project database and internal tracking mentioned above, there's another application...delivering GIS products to c...

It looks like it might be nifty for documentation and maybe rough planning purposes. But I laughed out loud when I saw this part: "Overcome high...

@bruce-small For sure, it depends on the circumstances.We might be running base-rover RTK, dual-base RTK, network RTK (GPS+GLO only), or network RTK...

It bothers me when we get a 0.10' distance error between RTK and total station on the same control points. That could easily be the difference in p...

@field-dog I don't know what field software you are using, but many of them will allow for computing scale factors for total station setups/observat...

I don't select Grid to Ground on my DC, so it sets its own SF. If I'm mixing RTK coordinates with total station coordinates, don't I want everything o...

Dunno about WFS or WMS, but Danish servers seem expensive:

I mean, if that's the only thing (or one of the only things) that someone can find wrong with my work...I don't care too much about that. I would rat...

if base station has option to enter only password then why do we need to create a user and assign it to a group? I'm not an expert on that software...

@scrass Don't forget that you can always request a site calibration report from the surveyor and just plug the parameters in yourself. You could def...

@fugarewe Generally speaking, the only time that I will ever calibrate with control that is in a defined projection from a defined datum is when I a...

Surveying for Dummies like with Trimble where is simple for anyone to pick up. "Simple to pick up" is generally a good thing. Leica will do the job...
