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 ownerís budget.…
Dear Surveyor,
As we steadily grow towards 15,000 members worldwide, as a community it is important for us all to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of the community members. With that said, we'd like to invite you to…
When I started my career, I have been attracted by one (of many) question : how accurate is the surface/volume calculations knowing the uncertainties of the points that define these geometrical figures. I really wanted to know in term of standard deviation what would be the "end results".
The solution was to propagate the variances (standard deviation squared) into the functional model (the…
Good news for all of you who are using a GNSS RTK without the fancy tilt meter and IMU onboard !
You can turn your today GNSS receiver to do the "free bubble style" by mixing up 2 technologies that popped up last year.
The first one is about software receiver as we learnt we can feed the digital signal processing…
One of the typical survey method for determining station's points and survey details has been the traverse method. There have been considerable discussions on the way to "adjust" angles and distances and lot of rules of thumb while rigorous Least Squares Adjustment softwares are available anywhere.
I would say "too much" talks and controversial exchanges for a method that is simply not appropriated anymore considering modern instruments. Long traverses (geodetic) have been…
With Survey Earth in a Day just around the corner again, knowing where your local markers are will come in handy when deciding where to submit a point from. Aside from our growing collection of Survey Marker Photos (photos tagged 'marker' inside the community), occasionally we will share marker photos on our Facebook Page which…
Plotting while measuring saves time and make the drawing accurate with no ambiguities. 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.…
You may already be familiar with NeoRTK. However, if you are new to this name, NeoRTK GNSS Receiver is an all-in-one solution for survey. Working together with smart controllers, iHand20 or T17M, NeoRTK is ideal for application such as static data collection, CORS support, construction survey, staking-out, utilities, transportations and municipal facilities, etc. Download the brochure to get more details,…
Here is a typical Surveyor's Report attached to many of the jobs that I do. This particular Land Survey was extremely complex and difficult but I thought you might get a kick out of seeing how this is done. The names and other information have been altered to protect the innocent.

I stumbled upon a few interesting books that you may find as interesting as I have. These books will be particularly interesting to geodetic surveyors and those surveyors across the planet who annually participate in Survey Earth in a Day. Flat- Earthers may find them to challenge their theories.
A history of the determination of the figure of the earth from arc measurements…
As a global community with absolutely no budget, we have created quite a few milestones this year and that is all because of you and your undying commitment to your industry! But don't take my word for it...check out our annual report!

2017 has been an amazing year in the world of land surveying. Jaybird just finished compiling a report for the 2017 Annual Report for our Facebook Page and coming soon for the Surveying Jobs Page, Survey Earth in a Day and of course the entire…

For those of you who do not know what Section 179 is, let me give you my simple definition: Section 179 allows companies to deduct full purchase price of qualifying equipment or software that was financed or purchased during the tax year. What this means in layman’s terms (which is the only way I know how to communicate effectively) is that if you bought, financed, or leased qualifying…
