That's a lot of land to be "mistakenly" marked. Are you sure that those markers are actually intended to cut off that piece of land? Do you have a cop...

I mean....that's going to be more than what I as the surveyor can handle. My opinion is laid out in my record of survey, and if a landowner elects to ...

I like your description, I'd have no trouble at all calculating it and understanding the intent. You could also consider "79.74 feet to a line 1.00 fo...

True, 3.5G has been deprecated. Cell corrections work just fine with an external modem, which is still much less expensive than the bridge - it's the ...

An ALTA is effectively an insurance policy — the surveyor is certifying that his work has met clear and well-vetted requirements, and has presented it...

There's already support for that in existing R10+ receivers, despite what some dealers (who want to sell you an RTK bridge for a lot more money than a...

There's also this one on setting horizontal/vertical marks for PACS and SACS, which was definitely written in the 21st century:

So yesterday afternoon I swung by the Dimensions exhibition hall to have a chat with the folks who could best answer these questions. I found two prod...

It’s possible that even with a severe recession, the lack of PLSs will keep us out of the race to bottom.I'm cautiously optimistic about this happenin...

Mike is quite correct in that it does take at least seven or eight seconds to switch the instrument from active to passive mode for a semi-active shot...

I mean....it's an improvement for him. He can now pontificate and bloviate at his client even more about how he's The One True Surveyor™, and f...
