THE DEAD END OF THE TRAVERSE METHOD

One of the typical survey method for determining station's points and survey details has been the traverse method.

Hi Everyone,

For years, there has been a lot of talk about 2 looming problems in the surveying profession;Ā  Age Gap and Knowledge Gap

What is being done about it?Ā 

Although these are monumentally important discussion topics, we need to do something about it rather than just talking about it.Ā  We must inspire new surveyors to enter the field.Ā  We can do this by openly sharing experiences and telling a new generation about the excitement that can be found in surveying.Ā  Ā In just 3 weeks we will

Over the years, we have tried to make note of important milestones and markers in our community development.Ā  But as one surveyor who recently wrote in points out "It would be great if we could view all of the milestones at a glance."Ā  Well, of course you could view them all inside the about page on our Facebook Page but if you are not on facebook this would be difficult.Ā  So today I decided to collect them for us here on the network.

Most of the GNSS Network RTK projects have been developed by the economical justification that an active geodetic network would reduce the cost of maintaining a traditional geodetic network where the maintenance of the benchmarks and the control survey were a significant part of the ownerĆ­s budget.

A GNSS Network RTK can also be justified where there was no geodetic network to assist the creation and the maintenance of a Spatial Data Infrastructure to support land governance and cadastre operatio

Plotting while measuring saves time and make the drawing accurate with no ambiguities.Ā Creating accurate drawings is painless with a Bluetooth enabled DISTO device. If you paired the Distometer with AutoCAD mobile app, the Plotting can be done simultaneously.

First turn on Bluetooth in both devices and pair them. See the image below.
