Can you use gsp for surveying land if so how?

Survey quality GPS equipment may be used. The accuracy of handheld GPS units is around 10 ft which is not acceptable. The key to the survey begins at the legal starting point. This begins by researching adjacent property deeds at the courthouse. Most property disputs center around the legal starting point of the measurements and not the measurements themselves. Only a Registered Land Surveyor can determine this.

GPS and yes you can by using degrees from the reading of the gps but it is not legal binding method of doing it... you should hire a surveyor to do the job..
Reply:GPS - Global Positioning System





Yes - to verify proper coordinates of one's location. To calculate distances and areas with greater ease, etc.
Reply:Doug is right, only a licensed professional land surveyor can properly perform a land survey. No one else is qualified, regardless of the equipment they may have. The GPS salesman may tell you that you can survey your own property with GPS, but he is just trying to sell you the equipment.
