Why localize?

I agree FN. I was a little too quick sending that last message and probably wasn't as clear as I want to be (I also used the wrong "their"). I believe...

If large area projections are no big deal, then why do we continue to see discussions over "Grid vs. Ground" repeated over and over. I suspect the maj...

It depends a lot on the county but we don't have anything approaching that. Those regulations sound oppressive. Here a half acre lot in a rural subdiv...

That's interesting. Some of the figures are still pretty close using Kent's inflation factor of 8. I roughly figure a rural subdivision in my area is ...

If you weren't in the open then I would say those numbers are totally believable. Vertical suffers more than horizontal in the presence of multipath i...

Even States with LDP systems in place will need to look at some changes. I suspect that Oregon will want to change the Grid North and Grid East of the...

Glad to hear the new reference frame will be at a fixed epoch. I had heard as recently as last week that it would be dynamic. It will be nice for NAD ...

Bill93 gave you a good answer. I wouldn't consider it to be "suitable for GPS". I don't really think of "suitability" as whether an operator can get a...

I despise abbreviations like this on plats. I've been surveying a while now and I've never seen SFNF. I would have had no idea what it meant before no...

It seems like a perfectly valid question to me. Finding a scenario in the field like this seems entirely legitimate and sometimes finding a handful of...

I can't add much. I only mentioned the possibility of a corrupt ephemeris because it may be a one time occurrence.

HTDP uses 14 parameter transformation plus regional velocities. Maybe RTX isn't using regional velocities, only the 14 parameter transformation.

Maybe Trimble is using a 14 parameter transformation instead of HTDP?
