How many of you have ever used a bookmarklet? </p>
<h2> How can a Bookmarklet Be Helpful to a Land Surveyor?</h2>
<p>A bookmarklet is like a tiny wizard that lives in your browser's bookmarks bar and can magically transform any webpage with a single click. To add a bookmarklet, simply drag and drop it into your browser's bookmarks bar. Once it's there, you can summon its power by clicking on it while you're on any webpage. Voila! The bookmarklet will work its magic and do whatever it was designed to do - whether it's highlighting text, translating a page, or just adding some extra pizzazz. So go ahead and add a bookmarklet or two to your toolbar and watch your browsing experience become even more enchanting! Simply click, hold and drag any of the following Bookmarklets up into your browser bookmarks bar for quick access from anywhere. Then, when the mood strikes, simply click the bookmarklet and it will take you right to where you want to go for a quick post.</p>
<strong>1) Right click on your browser toolbar and create a folder, call it "LSU"
2) Drag any of the following bookmarklets into that folder
3) Now anytime you have something to share, no matter what website you are on, simply click one to start a post. Easy as that!</strong>

However, shortly after April 6 2019 - the date of the Week Number Roll Over - the data our units collected would no longer process in the GNSS software. I could load the rover data files and they would load but if I included the base station data the program would choke during the file loading stage. I could also load the base station data and correct it using the reference station 78 km away but once again it would choke if I loaded the rover data at the same time. I have updated the firmware on all the units and also the GNSS software to version 3.10.07 but no luck. Rinex converter was suggested as something to try but it doesn't recognize the Promark data.</p><p>Any suggestions would be helpful.</p><p>Cheers</p><p>Wojtek Jakubowski</p><p>Impact Silver Corp, Mexico </p></div>Grading Permit Plans in Pennsylvania: Can a surveyor calculate and sign off on Infiltration Beds and trenches?https://landsurveyorsunited.com/forum/topics/grading-permit-plans-in-pennsylvania-can-a-surveyor-calculate-and2018-03-28T13:54:30.000Z2018-03-28T13:54:30.000Ztrouthttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/trout<div><p>I am a licensed surveyor in Pennsylvania and work for a full service Civil Engineering Company. I have been getting a lot of requests for grading permit plans. More and more townships are requiring Infiltration beds for roof drainage discharge. Also, Infiltration trenches along driveways. The calculations are pretty straight forward. Can a PA licensed land surveyor sign off on a house permit plan containing these drainage features? I have always had an in house licensed engineer perform the calculations. But I am just curious if any Pa licensed surveyors have ever done this work? the PA survey practice literature is very unclear in my opinion as to what a surveyor can or cannot do. The last thing I want is to get in trouble for performing "engineering" without a license.</p><p>Thank you!</p><p></p></div>BEING THE BESThttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/forum/topics/being-the-best2017-11-14T18:33:06.000Z2017-11-14T18:33:06.000ZDAVID C.

<p>Hey guys and gals. I was thinking about the set of familiar codes used in the field here in the USA to notate features on a jobsite while surveying. I was wondering if the same codes are used around the world or if there are variations of these codes that you might like to share with us. In fact your comments could be very helpful in the future for <a href="http://landsurveyorsunited.com/hubs/studentsurveyors">student surveyors</a> when learning to identify coding of historical surveys.</p>
