Keith Spencer (a land surveyor with Northstar Engineering) donated a set of General Land Office (GLO) township and rancho plats. They have now been added to the Maps Resources web page at Redefined Horizons.

Thanks Keith!

SurveyLISP is a set of commands and libraries written in AutoLISP and released under an open source license. Redefined Horizons is currently preparing a new version of SurveyLISP for AutoCAD and IntelliCAD software products that will feature limited SVG export capability. The new release of SurveyLISP will be made through the SurveyOS Project, and will be announced on this blog. The design of the SVG export functionality will be featured in a series of upcoming articles for CAD Programmer Magazine.

I will be giving two (2) separate talks at the upcoming 50th CSUF Geomatics Conference. The first talk will be entitled “Surveyor’s Reports: When, How, and Why?”. The second talk will be entitled “Access to Land Surveying Education – What does the future hold?”. Both talks will be made available from the Redefined Horizons web site as podcasts and written articles. This data will be downloadable from our Talks web page. We’ll announce on our blog when they are available.

I've had an article published in the latest edition of the ACSM Bulletin. The article is entitled “A System for Managing Digital Filed Survey Maps“. You can read the entire issue of the Bulletin at Issuu. The article appears on page 27. Or, you can download a PDF of the article from our Publications and Media web page.
