font-family:"Courier New"'>Ever wonder what a Land Surveyor does? How he does
it? or Why it is important? How do land surveyors use and view GIS data? This
presentation will help to answer all those questions and more. Lonnie will
discuss the legal role of Surveyors in boundary location, land development, and
mapping. He will also discuss land surveying methods and how the land surveyors
fit into the GIS puzzle from their perspective.<br>
<br>
Mr. Sears has over 15 years of Geodetic Surveying experience. He started his
surveying career in 1990 as the GPS Project Manager with a national firm
located in the Atlanta area. Since then, he has performed GPS Control Surveys
in six southeastern states and integrated DGPS, RTK and Static Survey methods
into the daily surveying tasks for two additional, metro Atlanta civil
engineering corporations. His background has been devoted to developing GPS
Surveying techniques for GIS inventory projects, DOT projects, private land
development projects, Large Boundary Surveys, ALTA/ACSM Surveys and Topographic
Surveys.<br>
<br>
Mr. Sears holds RTK and Post Processed GPS certificates of training from Ashtech
Solutions and Trimble Navigation. First certified as a Professional Land
Surveyor in 1994, he is currently licensed in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina,
Florida and Tennessee. He is an active member of the Surveying and Mapping
Society of Georgia (SAMSOG) and The Urban and Regional Information Systems
Association (URISA). Prior to a career in surveying he served in the United
States Marine Corps and received a degree in Civil Engineering and Surveying
Technology from the University of West Virginia's Institute of Technology.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
