H/T @Ordnance Survey
“Britain's map has changed a lot over the years - and so has the way it's made.
Meet Brian and Will, OS Surveyors from different generations, sharing how surveying has evolved and what it means to help map Great Britain. Here's part one of their story.
From long days in the field with paper maps and handwritten notes to modern GPS and digital technology, surveying has come a long way. But one thing hasn't changed: the people behind the map…”

“Will's grandfather Brian helped map Britain. Today, Will does the same job with very different technology.
Together, they reflect on their careers as Ordnance Survey surveyors, sharing stories from different eras of surveying.
From paper field books to GPS and digital mapping, discover how surveying has evolved, how maps are made, and the technology behind the data millions rely on every day.
Whether you're interested in mapping, surveying, geography, cartography, or the history of Ordnance Survey, this is a fascinating insight into the people and processes that help put Britain on the map…”

#Africa 1923. End of a hot day. Tired #surveyors want to go back to base camp. To finish a map they quickly add an #elephant shaped #contour (hill) on the NW corner, Sheet 17, Africa (Gold Coast) #British 1:62,500 #map series.

#Surveyors, #landscapers, #architects and #geomap people, plus general tech nerds, I need your help!
I have to make a map of a 4 acre community centre premises with buildings, gardens, sports court, outdoor furniture, playground etc.
I am looking for some kind of IPhone app where I can walk the perimeter of the various fixtures to measure them and output the resulting lines into an image file. At minimum. Feels like this is a thing that would exist because fitbit and other locomotion tracking capabilities but I don't even know what I should search for to find such a thing.
Boost appreciated!

#surveyors: You know you can't actually *trust* #GIS maps, right? Don't even bother with that stuff and come to us.
Also #surveyors: Where is the label for this boundary on your web map? I really need to know the measurement here.
