Hello,
I do not understand how to use my SMI software to transform coordinates. I have created a fictional job to illustrate my predicament. I have created points in my SMI card for two centerline PCPs, and four property corners. These are calculated points based on a plat. When I arrive at the job I set a nail across the street from the property, and occupy it.
Calculated Points:
Point Northing Easting Description
100 5000.0000 5000.0000 PCP
101 5000.0000 4400.0
Hello,
I have problems with GPS controller display.

I'm working on 8 title lots on the same street,(easy shit) a construction site that sucks, and if i have the time a topo in the middle of nowhere. Yes, my boss wants me in three places at once. Surveying is not the type of job you want to rush but for some unknown reason office guys talk like you're out there playin tiddly winks. All i can say is these assholes must think its all flat and wide open like it is on paper. ITS NOT! So if you are an office tech or an RPLS who doesn't go in the field

I've been thinking a lot lately about sharing a story here on Land Surveyors United so that other land surveyors may learn more from me, because I realize that I have something to share. I imagine that many of you might be in the same place with this. Perhaps we have not yet begun to feel the crunch that will be involved when there becomes a scare and our industry is compromised due to fading into other technologies. So today, I am going to make an attempt by writing a story about writing a s

Abstract
WCB Wilson was one of Queensland’s early pioneering surveyors. While we have heard of Dixon, Staplyton and Warner, few of us know the exploits of Wilson. In this sesquicentenary of Queensland as a state, I thought it appropriate to add some character to a name that we may only see on a plan. I also explore the accuracy of one of his surveys in terms of ‘following in his footsteps’ when reinstating boundaries created by Wilson almost 150 years ago.
How Good Was He?
It seems reasonable to think that removing the huge pecan tree east of the ProFlex500 base station antenna would influence the OPUS results. But my first OPUS report following removal of the tree was included in the current average NAD83(2011) position. This remains a work in progress. Over time there will be more OPUS sessions. Each time I will decide whether to include it in the average or begin again.
The OPUS reports, raw data files, and more photos are available on my projects ftp site.
My client has authorized the release of this material to any interested parties.
This is an actual situation which I see on a daily basis.
The client contacted me wanting a survey performed on his property. We contracted to survey only Lot 1. This is what we found.
