Hi Everyone,

I completed a Stockpile Volume Survey about a month or so ago and I thought I'd also make a 3d model that would be viewable, both online, but also in VR.

It can be viewed in VR most smartphones if you use cheap eg. $20 goggles, or with an Occulus Go headset.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts or any questions.

Kind regards,

James Wallace

WHY GPS IS NOT PERFECT

Selective Availability: the intentional degradation of the timing and position information transmitted by a GPS satellite

PDOP: (the position dilution of precision); describes the amount of error due to the geographic position of the GPS satellites.

Multipath: an error caused by a delay in the signal due to reflections from the surfaces before reaching the receiver.

DGPS: (differential GPS); a method of using a ground based correction in addition to  the satellite signals to determine position.

Next week we are going to try something new on the SurveyingJobs page for Land Surveyors who are looking for employment. We will allow a select few to broadcast live to this page and tell recruiters and companies their qualifications, places they would like to work and their experiences with land surveying.  This may be your ticket to a new employment opportunity!  Think of it as a Live Resume or Live Cover letter.

I was tired. Now I am retired.

1198862107?profile=originalNow that I am a retired surveyor I may spend more time thinking about my garden than thinking about surveying.  But I still find some topics interesting.  You may see a response from me once in a while if I think there is something I can add.  Mostly I will lurk because I do not ponder new technology.  New technology is for those who are still trying to scratch a living out of the dirt.
