Portable Notes for the Field

I came across a useful tool for surveyors today called Notepad.cc.....it allows you to create notes on anything you like (for example, field notes, equipment setup, coordinates, etc.). Here is an example of one I made as a test: http://notepad.cc/landsurveyorsunited

With the level of competition that exists for land surveyors and geomatics professionals, being successful as a company owner or working independently requires a combination of technical and creative skills, as well as business skills.
