@dave-lindell A subtle but terribly important distinction. I think people can easily view the questions only through their own lens while oblivious to...
@jitterboogie Nobody is attacking your competency. I have a guy who is very competent, in the mechanics of surveying, does very good work. Has failed ...
@jitterboogie I'm not sure that you're in a position to define what minimum competency should entail.
File under survey trivia and move on. You never know when knowledge of some obscure seemingly irrelevant tidbit is what makes the difference between a...
@dougie One foot in the future, one in the past. I guess that what keeps it interesting.

Feels like 80 to me.?ÿ
My first survey job as a teen was in Saudi as a helper, in summer. Routinely over 120 during peak sun. We??d start working 5 am and break around 10:3...
@shawn-billings Roger that. I'm going to compare the two and see how well both measure up to our needs. Being a Trimble shop, that might tip the scale...
@shawn-billings Nikon Nivo is getting a fair share of mention here. I'm going to do some more homework on this one but sounds like might just be the t...
