Schonstedt has pretty much been the gold standard for a reason. That classic audio pitch response is just so distinct—when you're passing over a deep ...

I've seen something similar happen when the point file or coordinate settings didn't match the drawing. I'd double-check the point format, units, and ...

I think a little teasing can definitely build interest, but it's easy to overdo it. I've found that giving just enough information to show progress wh...

One thing that’s helped me in dense woods is picking a distant “checkpoint” tree or rock along the bearing instead of staring at the compass every few...

That’s pretty much how I learned it too - witness monuments/corners are usually kept on line or on a prolongation, while reference monuments can be of...

A lot of people still think of compass rule as only for a closed loop, but on long corridor work I’ve usually treated it more like a “link traverse” b...

Had something similar happen on an older Leica once and it ended up being moisture inside the prism connector causing random distance spikes. Took for...

If you're looking for a solid third-party option, DocuSign or Adobe Sign are usually the gold standard for most firms, but they can get pretty pricey ...

I’ve found that most people struggle because they over-correct. Small movements are key! Also, don't forget to check your bubble calibration regularly...

That 1700' tie is definitely doing some heavy lifting there! It’s wild how some review processes just can’t compute lands outside the grid. I’ve run i...

Plotting deeds is easily my least favorite part of the office work, especially when the handwriting on the old documents is rough. If this can cut dow...

Theoretically, metric makes so much more sense, but in the field, it’s a different story. Between the legacy data we have to match and the fact that e...

Man, $8k for a solar compass in 'rough shape' really shows how sought-after these things are. It’s wild to think there are 20 of them just sitting in ...

There are so many solid old receivers gathering dust just because they lack internal NTRIP. Does the current version support Bluetooth yet, or is it s...

This looks like a really promising setup. I’m curious - how are you finding the registration in CloudCompare for the deeper structures? It seems way m...

I think @pfirmst nailed it with the 'low density for coverage, high density for control' strategy. It’s so easy to get caught up in capturing millions...
