Thoughts on a Simple Topo
Completed a simple baseline topo today for a proposed walkway and boat dock. Stationing at twenty five foot intervals with offsets of ten and twenty feet. Wetland flags, soil borings, and tree locations too. The pace of the job was a little too slow for me. Green rodman and experienced party chief ran the rod. As we ran short on time, the rag tape was replaced by pacing. I checked for twenty foot offsets using the Point to Line feature after I took a ground shot. Too bad there isn’t a baseline topo feature that lets you define a baseline and displays station and offset data as the user takes shots. Also, I wish there was a user-defined drop down rod height list. Towards the end of the topo we were using a twenty five foot topo rod set to various heights, so such a feature would be a time saver.
