Put On Your Game Face
With Survey Earth in a Day (June 20th), International Surveyors Week (17th-23rd) and Land Surveyors University relaunching on 21st, your profile and placement on the global members mapwill be on display for the world and this will be a great time to build and increase your geospatial network!
Your Profile Questions Become Your Map Marker
Answers to the profile questions found inside the backend of your profilecreate the information inside your marker on the member map. Also, the placement of your icon relates to the accuracy of your profile's location field. So this is the time to update your profile and tighten up your professional credentials.

Adding Yourself to a Member Category
Justin has added the ability to tell the network which member category you care to be classified in, such as Student, Publications Rep, Vendor, ect. Simply answer this (Membership Status) question inside your profile to be correctly grouped. This will allow you to quickly be found inside the Member Categories Subnavigation on the site.
Use the Geopicker to Add Your Lat/Long Geolocation
Add your geolocation to the final question in your profile answers so that your member profile shows up in the correct location on the member map. At the very least, please do this so that our Maps Administrator (G. Breisch) can easily map you correctly.
Land Surveyors United is the largest geospatial network on the planet. Your profile should be considered a professional resume, as it is your standing representation of your experience and passions as a geospatial professional. On June 19th, we will be making an all inclusive update to the Global Mamber Map before Survey Earth in a Day, so please take 5 minutes and update this information and we'll do the rest.
Stay tuned for an update of requirements and instructions for Survey Earth in a Day on Friday! If you have not done so, please log in with any device to the Land Surveyors United Mobile at some point this week and familiarize yourself with the navigation and try posting a status update from the field to see how it all works.
