You know, I'd probably agree with you there samurai. My comfort tolerance would probably have been satisfied with one extra GNSS point in between thou...

Such absolutes with such a subjective discussion. Your minimally constrained data would suggest that the job was "right" with only two GPS vectors. Yo...

Hi Mark,I've also noticed that it is important, even though OPUS can eventually handle it, not to cross UTC midnight. Results take much longer it seem...

Thank you for taking the time to generate that, Kent.We all deal with error budgets constrained by financial budgets. The professional is constantly t...

I'd be curious to know what sort of results you would get using a minimally constrained adjustment of points 86 and 100 (or whichever extreme pair you...

Might not help, but if your gun has tracking lights, the prism will reflect the light directly back to the gun. Pretty handy for getting those late ni...

We did quite a few route surveys when we first started using GPS. It was pretty frustrating trying to get conventional measurements to adjust with GPS...

Eric you are thinking of the RECT code that creates a fourth corner. CLO just closes a figure by drawing a line from the first point to the last.

The problem with JOG is running out of descriptor space> That is a quirk in SurvCE but F2F in the office draws it correctly. I wish they would fix...

The problem with JOG is running out of descriptor spaceAnother issue I have with JOG, although I do use it, is that when you get to the end of the JOG...

Thanks for the kind words, Eddie. People taking the time to explain GNSS and geodesy on the old RPLS board was the genesis to much of the knowledge I ...

GPS does not work in "Grid coordinates". This is a misconception. GPS works in ECEF (Earth Centered Earth Fixed). This is then projected onto an ellip...

How many channels do I need for my receivers? A Boat-Load!Good stuff, Mark. That's truly amazing.

> Well for me, the x90+(?) as a CORS network RTK unit is new to me The CHC x90+ is static only (according to their website) so no RTK, but the 24 c...

I'm not in disagreement with you on that. Outside of firmware issues for little things (with big effects) like week rollovers and leap seconds, there ...

Dogmatic much, CW?Each GPS satellite broadcasts as many as 5 signals presently: L1 (divided into C/A and P1), P2, L2C and L5. GLONASS presently has as...

OMG!with deep respect, Jerry, calling that luck is a dishonor to the son-of-bxxxx, a__hole of a party chief that must have led that crew. Someone was ...

I've been using North Latitude of xx° and West Longitude of xx°, or abbreviate as N Lat xx° and W Long xx°.I have no idea if it's correct to any stand...

I'm on my second set. They are good loppers and are in some places more practical that machete. The 3x gearing makes a difference.

Hey Greg,I've been reading about this method of determining snowpack. The concept makes sense, I just have a difficult time believing that the GNSS re...
