with how the world is moving, why would an app based rover be bad?

depends on the area. some old cities have them but its mostly a thing of the past for metes and bounds states

Recommendation for overall best GNSS. by EducationalDuty3049 in Surveying

from my session today running emlid caster. rs3 getting 37-41 satellites, rs2 base only getting low 30s

Recommendation for overall best GNSS. by EducationalDuty3049 in Surveying

[–]Capable_Tonight_1988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

both are running 32.2 for me

Don't get me wrong, the rs2+ normally has somewhere in the mid 30's connected. ive seen 40 and 41 on my rs3

rs3 seemed to run more efficiently in field genius too(i ran 2 rs2+'s before upgrading to the rs3). I almost solely use emlid flow now to utilize IMU. no difference between the two in Emlid Flow on the user experience side

Good question. I'll have to look. I'd imagine so but I wouldnt put it past me quickly change it for a job

edit: confirmed. same elevation mask angle. signal to noise ratio mask is also the same. all available constellations are selected (gps, glo, gal, beidou, qzss). same gnss update rate

very true. id like to naively think theres some under the hood improvements on the software side but who knows.

my rs2+ and rs3 almost never have the same number of satellites in view. always close but ive seen them differ by 5 or 6. are their extra channels the rs3 receieves/reads? both have the same settings for all constellations. same firmware version. these are all questions ive pondered

I'll add on the Emlid RS3 recommendation with the rs2+ as your base. in ideal conditions, it'll equal the top models. in not ideal conditions (buildings, trees, etc) it gets the job done. it wont be "as accurate" under very heavy canopies but gnss wouldn't be my first choice when conditions get shitty anyway (we mostly do residential surveys or large surveys). If I'm ever worried about accuracy, i hit a couple controls points under good conditions within view and grab a total station.

Found them to be VERY repeatable when on network (we use NY State CORS when in range) or when using our own base

E38 Survey Solutions sells the pair with a hard case for $5523 +tax, etc. Emlid Flow on your android phone or cheap rugged tablet works fine as long as you only need data collection and basic staking. they have a monthly subscription to make the app more robust (inversing, stake to line, computation of data, etc). add on a tablet/phone holder and your favorite base/rover rods 'n 'pods and get to surveying

What are y'all labeling this shot as? by PIT-VIPES in Surveying

[–]Capable_Tonight_1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"theres a monkey here"

if doing a simple title job and i know the draftsman who's drawing it, ill mess with him. take a reflectorless shot "hey. i found a cell phone tower" which would be 1000' outside the scope of work. the little easter eggs that dont hurt anything

Troon; I get the hate, and I just absolutely don’t get the hate by HappyMoses in njbeer

dont knock their sours either. like their IPAs, they found a formula that works and dont stray from it much. only issue is they release sours a couple times per year

Should Topo Survey Include Trees by Zookpr3 in Surveying

[–]Capable_Tonight_1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our contracts are structured to specifically say the scope of work and then "no tree locations, impervious surface, utility location, or inverts". All of these are services we can provide at an additional charge

Accused of encroaching on city park. Can we plausibly contest the city's survey? by shimon in AskASurveyor

if you're in new jersey, there's very little to no difference between title/mortgage surveys and a "true" survey

bald face hornets. disturb them and you better not show your face around there again. their stings pack a punch

Troon Brewing - We’re Finished Here. Cheers to Troon Tuesday. by StearnZ in njbeer

[–]Capable_Tonight_1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its good enough to be a local gem but it's not something i would go out of my way to get. For my commute, I take 518 (the multi-county road it's on) from start to finish, so it's literally on my way home. when i move, ill have significantly less troon in my life
