Zoom Video Webinar*
If the earth were flat, you wouldn’t need to participate in this webinar. The reality, however, is that modern surveying technology, such as GPS, takes measurements on the “round” earth but most of our projects are modeled and built on a flat earth. This webinar will cover the basic “round earth-flat earth” problem, and common pitfalls encountered in moving between the round and flat earth in our onboard software solutions. The National Geodetic Survey’s online geodetic tool kit will be introduced as a practical and reliable independent check of our software and hardware configurations. This webinar is intended for those technicians and licensed professionals who work in this realm and wish to augment their understanding.
*Zoom Video Webinars is a widely used webinar platform. You will hear the voice of the speaker and watch a PowerPoint and live software presentation. This technology allows for questions and answers. Webinar login information will be sent to registrants the week of the webinar.
