You can access your support group from your cellphone by simply going to the mobile version of LSU at <a href="http://landsurveyorsunited.com/m">http://landsurveyorsunited.com/m</a> and navigating from there. Remember that when you post a discussion to any group, other members will instantly be notified of the added discussion, then are able to respond to it from anywhere. Remember that twittering <span style="font-weight:bold;">#LSUfield</span> from your cellphone will place you on our Twitter Support map so that other members can respond with helpful answers and tips to get you through "the weeds."</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-size:14pt;"> In a short time, this method of supporting one another in the field can become very simple and almost like a second thought with a little practice. I hope that you all find this to be an innovative method for solving age-old problems. Given the present technology, this is by far one of the most effective (<span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">and FREE</span>) methods for finding tech support without having to pack the truck up and head back to the office.</span></p></div>New Groups based on Equipment Manufacturers and Geographyhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/profiles/blog/list/new-groups-based-on-equipment2010-03-14T20:30:00.000Z2010-03-14T20:30:00.000ZJaybirdhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/Jaybird<div><p>Some HUGE improvements have been made to the <a href="http://landsurveyorsunited.com/page/local-1">LSU Local page</a> which may be of interest to all members.<br />

I have added several new locations to the grid, in addition to the new <span style="font-weight:bold;">Support Groups based on Location</span> and on the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Types of Equipment</span> members are most familiar. We have many members who are having issues in the field simply because the equipment manufacturers do not offer the support needed for certain types of equipment-especially out dated or earlier versions. By visiting <a href="http://landsurveyorsunited.com/page/local-1">this page</a> and joining a group based on your geographical location and the types of equipment you use in the field, it will become easier for you down the road to quickly get support on issues by simply asking a question to the related group, which will then send a real time support ticket out to all other members of that group. This can make response time and turnaround in less than 5 minutes once the groups become populated with members who know what they are doing and other members who are learning. Each group will have its own dedicated troubleshooting discussion forum and the latest updates from manufacturers in those related groups. In addition, these groups can be accessed from any mobile phone so getting the help you need from the field should no longer be an issue.<br />
