While you're reviewing the Rules, please pay close attention to the note immediately following the list. In short, if you don't want your posts removed or your account banned, don't involve politics IN ANY WAY in our forums. If you can't do this, please see the door. This is a professional community; our goal is to have quality members that want to discuss Land Surveying topics.
Community Forums for Land Surveying & Geomatics
Welcome to the Surveyor Connect family! Please take a moment to tell us a little bit about yourself, where you're from and how/why you got into surveying (or other little surveying-related tidbits).
Discussions pertaining to general topics of Land Surveying and Geomatics. This is the default forum for surveying discussions, but please use more specific forums when appropriate.
Discussions about cartography and mapping as they pertain to surveying, as well as software used for coordinate geometry (COGO), field-to-finish (F2F), Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) and Least Squares.
Discussions pertaining to Geodesy and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) including (but not limited to) GPS (United States), GLONASS (Russia), BeiDou (China) and Galileo (European Union).
Discussions regarding aerial photogrammetry, 3D laser scanning (LiDAR), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), a.k.a. drones.
Discussions about business practices, financial issues and the legal aspects of Land Surveying. Topics might also include court cases, bookkeeping, business formation, easement or right-of-way legalities, etc.
Discussions regarding educational and/or training events, such as continuing education workshops, conferences, college courses, or other information that will help surveyors begin or continue their journey of surveying knowledge.
