Have you ever noticed when you add content to the main "Text Box", on your LSU Profile Pages, it tends to
get lost in the other page content
?

Typically, most people place important information like "About Me", in the main text box. So, we don't want it to get lost on the Profile Page. The best way to make your Profile Page "calling card" content stand out, is by adding one of the following:

1. Add a background image.

With the level of competition that exists for land surveyors and geomatics professionals, being successful as a company owner or working independently requires a combination of technical and creative skills, as well as business skills.

While you do need to have some capability to run the business, you do not need to be a business guru to be an effective and ef

Land surveyors on LSU have created something that otherwise has been lost in the industry over time and that is both an International and a National Voice.

We need to see and read what others are going through in the field and continue to lend community support to our fellow profess

On GeoMessages, you can share your location info as a signature for the messages (email, SMS) right from your phone.
There could be many advantages for a land surveyor to use GeoMessages from the field. Just read what one of their customers said about the application: "This mobile application has one simple but effective feature, it allows you to save a location in Google Maps. So for example, when you park your car you can find your way back to it's exact location. Or, imagine you have checked

Displaying GPS Tracks on Googlemaps Without need for API Key

Google Maps can display GPS tracks without you getting a google API userid. Just pass the URL to the KML file and all the points will be displayed. You use [maps.google.com].The file can be waypoints, traces or routes as far as I can tell.

You can also pass a Lat-Lon query in and it will show you the point. [maps.google.com] It is a quick way to share interesting places around the globe.

There's a bunch more you can do if you have

It has come to my attention that the University of Maine is proposing budget cuts in its Survey Engineering Technology (SVT) program, and I'd like your help in getting the University to change its mind. If these proposed budget cuts are implemented in this survey program it could have a huge negative impact on our profession and in our land surveying businesses, too. The following information sent to me explains in detail what the issue is, how to voice your opinion on this matter, and how to le
