surveyors in the bibleExamples of Land Surveyors in The Bible by William D. Hatfield


The Bible has always been a reliable source for the history of the Jewish people. This historic account encompasses many esoteric and otherworldly encounters, but what is often overlooked is the overwhelming accounts of the day to day life, as well as, the professions of the common people. Seeing as how I work in the land surveying profession I decided to do some research into examples of the land surveying profession in the Bible.

Internet RTK work is challenging

Here is a photo of the new GPS+GLONASS antenna for the ProFlex500.Now it is about the ProFlex500 and how to set it up as a RTK base station.
