What we built together in 2019

We've been building Land Surveyors United for over 13 years.

πŸ‘‹ Hey! Since 2007, we've been trying to make Land Surveyors United the most useful, progressive, educational and social surveying platform for Professional Land Surveyors, Students and Educators as we can.

Over time, we have outgrown 2 platforms and in 2019 we accomplished a seemingly impossible task together....we migrated the entire platform to our new home and for the rest of time. We've built loads of features in the new platform like these for our users. Let's take a look at some of the features we built for you just in 2019.

But nothing compares to the incredible things we have planned for 2020 πŸ˜‰.(Roadmap coming Dec. 23rd)

You can now enjoy the community from any device.

We trashed the old Mobile Rover and went completely responsive.

All of our old photos, videos, hubs, discussions and blogs have all been fully migrated to this new and improved platform which is mobile friendly and much more flexible with what can be shared and added.

Ultimately, as you can see from your profile, all of your previously shared content is still in tact. Your associations with other surveyors are still there as well. And although Group Forums became Hubs, the groups/Hubs you follow have become mini communities geared to support and educate surveyors worldwide.Here are a couple other new features:

Learn something new everyday in our Surveying Videos Library.

Our Land Surveying Video collection has been an ongoing collaborative effort by all members of the community since 2010. Our goal is to provide a place where you can learn something new about land surveying everyday!

In 2019, we completely organized and categorized our Surveying Videos Library for easy access and more user friendly interface. We encourage our members to not only learn something new about surveying everyday but to also share helpful land surveying videos and tutorials with the community. To date we have around 600 Surveying Tutorials in all languages.

Tutorials

Land Surveyor Support went completely mobile.

It's not that we didn't have the ability to access everything in the community available for your mobile device. At first, we just wanted to experiment with a few ideas on useful apps for the community. But now with over 7000 installs of our apps, they are starting to become one of the coolest aspect of our community! TIP: Try any of the apps on your internet enabled data collectors as well as phones and tablets.

New! You can now add any of our Apps to your Chrome Browser as a Chrome app which syncs everywhere you use Chrome.

We created our own land surveyor marketplacefor community vendors.

Our marketplace is in a way like a mall for land surveyors.  Each Marketplace Hub is owned and controlled by either a Vendor of surveying equipment or software, a developer of innovative surveying software, authors of helpful surveying books or provider of unique land surveyor services. Each hub not only provides ways to purchase goods and services, the owners of the hubs also support their products inside the hubs.

To connect to a Marketplace Hub which looks interesting to you, simply visit the hub and click "Follow" so that you are the first to know when new special deals have been offered to Land Surveyors United members.  Marketplace Hub owners each have something special set aside just for Land Surveyors United members so if you are not a member, you will miss out on savings.

If you are a vendor, marketer or supplier of products and services for Land Surveyors, tell us about your company here and we'll set up a hub for you and help you enter marketplace.  You can also learn all about hubs for vendors here, if you are logged in.

Remembering Surveying History is now fun as well as important.

One of the greatest losses over time is respect and rememberance of those who came before us.   We have a LOT of Surveying History information shared over the years.  Not only have we spent a lot of time organizing and categorizing content inside the community, we have paid special attention to curating Surveying History information in easily accessible ways.  

  • We also haveentire hubs dedicated to surveying history that members can join and contribute to.
  • Share your surveying history photos for future generations
  • Celebrate the way surveying used to be and occasionally try out time tested methods.

Since day one, Land Surveyors United Community has been a Global Community of Land Surveyors.   Back when the community was started in 2007, every other land surveyor community only focused on Land Surveyors in the United States.  We didn't feel that restricting the community to a single geographic area would best represent what land surveyors are doing around the world.

Helping The Industry acquire talent

The surveying industry is starving for new qualified talent. In 2019 we wanted to ramp up our efforts to help Surveyors Seeking Employment find jobs and opportunities in a more efficient manner. We also wanted to help Recruiters find the talent they are looking for to fill positions. Today, we are proud to say that this process is much more streamlined now.  Our jobs page inside the community recieves fresh jobs every hour from most all locations in the world. You can also find Surveying Jobs by location.
