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.

I am a surveyor and I spent a lot of time to do surveys with my dad. Then I asked myself, why not speed things up? we have many daily electronic tools, why not use them?
That's why I decided to develop Surveyor calc.
Surveyor calc is an application designed to perform the max speed and productivity in the field of
survey.
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

Below is a link to the first of four different whitepapers on the current state of land surveying technology, and how CDIS (first published in Professional Surveyor several years ago) will replace CAD as the core engine for surveying in the future. Previously only SiteComp (Land Innovation) adopted CDIS, but its user interfaces, graphic output, and tagged intelligence did not take full advantage of it's potential.
The link to the whitepaper is:

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

Certain magazines (trade magazines) have purported to represent the current interests of our profession by exposing Land Surveyors to new technologies and philosophies regarding our industry. These magazines have been around for decades in many cases.
These so called trade magazines have treated us for years and years now to articles where the authors (pundits) of these articles chide us insisting that Land S

Surveying with Cameras: Enhancing Occupational Safety of Field Crews
While surveying is often enjoyable and rewarding work, the conditions and sites where we do our land surveying work often are full of life-threatening hazards. Maintaining your safety or your field crew’s safety as they work in and along dangerous roads, on busy construction sites or at hazardous industrial facilities is paramount. Using conventional land surveying techniques and tools to ensure the occupational safety of field

Hi, this is Eric Colburn and for myself, Datumate and Colburn Strategic Partners I invite you to this free webinar on the Revolution of Surveying with Regular Cameras. The technology used to survey with a regular camera is sometimes called close-range photogrammetry or you may have heard it called terrestrial photogrammetry. Regardless of the name, this is mapping from digital photographs for the 21st century!

I recently added a new way for you to snapshot the location of your next jobsite inside the Mobile Rover, called Surveyor's Polaroid. How this works is like this: Next time you are on a jobsite, fire up your mobile device and head to this page on the Mobile Rover. Share your location (don't worry,it is not stored) and it will generate a simple Google Street View image of the geolocation you are presently at.
Below is a screencapture of where I was when I built and tested the app and is merely
