On My Last Day as a Land Surveyor

Last Day as a Land Surveyor

On this day in 1998, my life changed. While working as a land surveyor out in the Charleston Tea Farm (then overgrown for over 30 years and not surveyed since the 50s).Ā 

Ravenel, South Carolina

I can remember the day as if it were yesterday... I had on chest waders and snake boots carrying a machete and a prism pole. After having already killed one water moccasin that morning with my bushaxe, I was asked to take center-line shots from the middle of a long canal once used as a track for carti

RIP RPLS Network - The Sad End of an Era

The End of an Era for a Special Land Surveyor Community

We received some genuinely sad news this week as POB begins the shutdown of the original RPLS network, started by pre-social media pioneer Mark Deal.Ā  The RPLS Network began in the 1990's with Deal's vision of a land surveyor community meant to bring together land surveyors across the nation in order to share tips and insights into land surveying.Ā  Countless hours have been saved in the field by thousands of land surveyors over time and thr

WHY GPS IS NOT PERFECT

Selective Availability: the intentional degradation of the timing and position information transmitted by a GPS satellite

PDOP: (the position dilution of precision); describes the amount of error due to the geographic position of the GPS satellites.

Multipath: an error caused by a delay in the signal due to reflections from the surfaces before reaching the receiver.

DGPS: (differential GPS); a method of using a ground based correction in addition to Ā the satellite signals to determine position.

Hi Everyone,

I completed a Stockpile Volume Survey about a month or so ago and I thought I'd also make a 3d model that would be viewable, both online, but also in VR.

It can be viewed in VR most smartphones if you use cheap eg. $20 goggles, or with an Occulus Go headset.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts or any questions.
