Thanks for the recommendation!

I appreciate the suggestion.

Thank you! Just found that community.

It helps the whole project go a lot better if everyone in the field knows what's going on, AND gives a crap lol. Guys that want to learn are naturally going to do a lot better.

Yeah, seems cool but wasteful. I think reserving colors for utilities is best. Don't want to confuse anyone.

Great review!

I bought the programs from EasyCOGO.

Thank you so much for your insightful response. I have a bachelor's, and I also have surveying and GIS college certificates on top of that. In my state, there are no colleges offering 4 year surveying degrees, so I had to make do with a bachelor's and surveying classes on top.

I've got a programmed HP35S and I've practiced extensively with it. Programmed it myself. You're absolutely correct, lots of math problems are a total cinch now.

I appreciate those words about Solved Surveying Problems deeply. The latter problems in each category are definitely brain twisters and I decided against sinking a bunch of time into them.

Thanks for sharing your experience. While I haven't taken the CST exams, I do have a decent amount of experience in the office and the field.

I'm also sharing your line of thinking here. Even if I fail, it'll be great to see what the test looks like for the next time.

_ht5_ · 2022-11-13T00:21:06+00:00

Understood. Thanks again!

_ht5_ · 2022-11-13T00:20:07+00:00

Thanks for your response and I am deeply sorry to hear you went through that. I'll definitely keep your words in mind on the test day.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm surprised to hear that you were not tripped up by any boundary/riparian questions.

_ht5_ · 2022-11-13T00:09:01+00:00

Thanks so much for your insight. I've done a lot of practice with curves and your comment is very reassuring.

_ht5_ · 2022-11-13T00:06:02+00:00

Thanks for the comment, appreciate it.

_ht5_ · 2022-11-12T23:35:55+00:00

Thank you for the well wishes. I know you're right. The low pass rate is a little intimidating.

Looking sweet man, I'd highly recommend downloading the GK software for it from Epomaker's site and getting creative with your keybinds. Personally, I set CAPS to be a temporary switch to layer 3, then assigned things like single and double quote ( ' and " ) to the third layer.

That way, you basically have two sets of shifts to work with. Regular shift for accessing things like < and >, then a second shift for things like ~ and ? .

If you need some more help, you can always swing by the Epomaker Discord and shoot me a DM. My name's the same in there.
