Introduction to our Grassroots Glocal (Global and Local ) Land Surveyor Community

Land Surveyors United network and community welcomes all geospatial professionals, land surveyors, surveying students and professors of surveying around the globe. We encourage storytellers to share their experiences in land surveying with the network so that those new to the industry can learn from best practices, tips and tricks and lessons learned. Through exploring our network, you'll find that since 2007, together we have transcended communication barriers which have historically segregated surveyors geographically, in language and by level of experience. We are unifying the industry and building a community by which the everyday surveyor on earth can find targeted support, build their reputation online, increase productivity and have a little fun too. Get involved and share your experiences in land surveying with your fellow surveyors around the world!

Old school surveyors become the educators to the new school on Land Surveyors United.

Surveying Articles

Surveying Articles is a place for members to Share Land Surveying related articles, presentations and knowledge with the Land Surveyors United Community. Post or embed articles for future generations of land surveyors.

Do you have an article about Land Surveying that you would like to share?

Land Surveying is a timeless art and science and it is therefore, evergreen! You may also know that a lot of older publications have gone away, unfortunately.   If you have written or published land surveying articles in the past, we would be honored for you to share them here with us.  If it is an older article, you can even republish it here with updates and reflections.  

Tip:   If you published an article in the past on one of the older sites which no longer exist, you can use the Wayback Machine to find it.  Then just copy/paste the old article inside a new post here.  Just be sure to tell us where it was previously posted.

Want to embed a PDF Document?

 If you have a PDF document or article related to land surveying that you would like to embed inside an article post, simply copy/paste the following code block into the HTML view of the post editor and replace the BOLD part of the code with the URL of the PDF you'd like to embed.   

Code to use:

Differences between Forums, Blogs and Article posts

Forum Posts are great for asking questions which have a definate answer.  Forum posts are best for a quick exchange of information between Land Surveyors United members.   Please note that All Community Hubs have their own dedicated Forums so if your post is related to a specific hub, it is best to ask your question or share your tip inside the hub in which it belongs for targeted answers.  For example, if your question relates to Leica equipment, ask your question inside the Leica Hub forum for best results as all members inside that hub uses the equipment in question.  Likewise if your question pertains to a Location, you should consider making your post inside the appropriate hub.

Add Discussion

Blog Postsdiffer from Forum posts because you can embed and upload different kinds of information.  Blog posts are best for presenting information and updates for feedback and sharing.  When posting a Blog Post, you can also publish a short excerpt at the bottom which is what most members will see before reading the blog post.  Blog posts are also great for posting new surveying projects and digests of links to multiple surveying topics or your own website.   Things that can be embedded into Blog Posts are videos, images, slideshows, powerpoints, spreadsheets, PDFs, documents and more.

Add Blog Post

 

Articles are similar to Blog Posts in all ways except one.  Articles allow for you to post an Author Block at the bottom with links to your contact info, website information, credentials, etc. Similar to Blog Posts, things that can be embedded into Blog Posts are videos, images, slideshows, powerpoints, spreadsheets, PDFs, documents and more.  Similar to both types above, Hub Owners can add article sections and features to any hub they control on the community.

Three New Surveying Toolkit Experiments to Explore

We recently put together a handful of experimental toolkits, which I believe are pretty self explanatory. In addition to the other Member Apps which are out there in the world being tested and improved through member feedback, each of these toolkits contain apps, tools and directories which will forever be in a state of progressive enhancements.  Your donations towards improving the individual apps and community tools allow us to upgrade them, enhance their features and capabilities.
