I Miss You

Dear John,

I have been unable to sleep since I broke off our engagement.

Won't you forgive and forget? Your absence is breaking my heart.

I was a fool - nobody can take your place. I love you.

All my love,

Belinda. xxxxoooxxxx

P.S. Congratulations on winning this week's lottery.

 


 

Tools of the Trade May 2012  
Greetings!

Another month slipped past, and we are nearing the half way point of the year.  How are you finding things?  When i look around or talk to people I am hearing some great things.  I watch the amount of supplies that go out every week and know people are busy.  I am seeing more people renting equipment including Scanners and software which is a positive trend.  People seem to be busy.

The $7600 trade-in for Leica GPS is still in place through the end of the month and there are also great incentives for scanner purchase available.  If you have an older scanner now is a great time to trade-in for a newer model.  We would also love to talk about scanner rentals with you for those projects you have coming up that require a scanner but do not justify the cost of a new purchase.

We are trying to get some classes on the calendar so keep an eye out for that as well as other events and announcements that we are expecting in the coming months.

If you have not checked out the facebook page or the new website yet please do!  We are working hard to get these things up and running for you and I hope  you are taking advantage of them.

 

As always, if there is anything at all we can do for you please do not hesitate to email or give us a call.  We have an entire staff of professionals read to answer your questions and help you in any way we can. 

   

Sincerely,

 

Paul M. Carlson

Tips & Tricks

question We are using a C-10 and want to tie all of our data to GPS collected ground control.  Is there an easy way to do this?



answer stamp YES!!  There are actually a few ways to do this, some in the field during collection and some in the office after the fact.  After having tried many methods for scanning I have found the easiest and fastest way to collect and register the data is by using the RESECTION function in the C-10 scanner.  The C-10 makes the collection of the data in the field faster (or at least the setup and target acquisition parts) and makes the registration process easier because if done properly the data is automatically registered when brought in.  The video below shows the process of doing a resection on the C-10 scanner.
