As the largest community body of land surveyors anywhere in the world with close to 9000 members, we have a responsibility. We must do all that we can to educate the public regarding our importance to society in order to pave the way for those who come after us.  One way to accomplish this would be for each of us to record a short PSA sharing the nature of surveying jobs in the places where we live.  

For Example, this PSA was submitted by Kennedy Komla of Ghana

Surveyors Surveying on the Vine

I was checking out Vine earlier today thinking of a few ways to integrate social media outside of Land Surveyors United into the day and found some pretty cool short videos of land surveyors doing what they do best and figured I would try to embed a few as a test in the site.  Turn the sound on to hear what they are saying in each.

Surveyor calc is an application designed to perform the max speed and productivity in the field of

It allows to calculate areas of a survey but also to create automatically a digital figure of the survey

to open in a CAD software.

Why this is a very useful app? This

Land Surveyor named Indiana Jones

One day I was sitting in my office in Downtown Houston around 5:00 pm in the afternoon in 2001 when the phone rang.  My secretary had already left and I was not anxious to answer it.  I had a comfortable practice running three field crews and another Professional Land Surveyor in the office.  I was daydreaming about maybe selling the business for a million dollars and jus
