To my opinion, the only advantage of GNSS over GPS is the speed of position fixing. This is I guess due to greater number of navigation systems and channels supported. Greater number of satellites, channels, and frequencies prov

A Land Surveyor is used to buying a cheap spray paint for $3.75 a can, but he has to spray 2 or 3 times to coat the same mark. So it takes at least 2 cans to do or mark what thisprefabricated permanent paint does and lasts longer, 2 cans x $3.75 = $7.50 and2 times longer in labor, compared at $1.30 per unit of prefabricated paint,also each time the Surveyor has to use the mark he has to coat it with spraypaint again and again.

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.
Note: This method is unique for each case, depending on the type of backgroun

You Are the Missing Link

I know, I know. Groan-Sigh-Hiss. Sounds downright painful for those of us that consider the internet to be free and fun. The fact of the matter is, those who tell you this sort of stuff have made it a business to recruit you to do suc

Survey Says: SRX is the Cadillac of Total Stations

You might be surprised at how many similarities are shared between the powerhouse robotic station from Sokkia, the SRX and that ultra-luxury vehicle version, the Cadillac SRX. Of course, we've talked about the SRX (Sokkia version) before and reviewed many aspects of its utility in the surveying field. But when you search (on say Google), you see that the Cadillac version may be even a tad bit less popular than the Sokkia total station. Upon a lit
