California Surveyors Forums

I've attended some of Mike's seminars in the past and I also have made my warehouse available free of charge a few times before so he can offer a seminar more often and pass the venue savings along to attendees. I'm allowing him to do the same this year:

PROFESSIONAL, PRACTICAL GPS TRAINING
System Dividends/Michael McInnis
Providing training on Trimble GPS products since 1992

Do you need to streamline your Trimble workflow and avoid the TBC eccentricities? Confused about the NAD83 2011/Geoid12A datum transformations? Maximize your Trimble investment by attending our southern California seminar.

We will be conducting a 2 day TBC seminar in Lake Forest, CA designed specifically to optimize the data stream from capture to deliverable and explore how the NAD83 2011 datum impacts your work product.

Trimble Business Center will be covered in detail and attendees are encouraged to bring their questions/Projects to examine and share with the class. The session will explore the use of different GPS Survey methods including Post-Processing and RTK along with RTK/Infill as well the use of CORS stations and the OPUS system. The Trimble Vision capacity of the S6 and V10 will also be reviewed.

There will be detailed discussion of Project Templates, File Management, Survey Controller/Access operations/DC editing, Coordinate Systems (Grid/Ground), Site Calibrations, and Feature Coding along with AccessSync, RTX Post Processing and many other advanced issues. Laptop computers are welcome and encouraged.

Training materials and lunch will be provided.

LOCATION: KDM Meridian, 22541 Aspan Street, Suite C, Lake Forest, CA 92630

DATE: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, October 28-29, 2014

Registration fee: $775 per person.

Sincerely,

I've attached the flyer from System Dividends/Michael McInnis for the Trimble Business Center training. He needs to get the firm commitment so he can order the breakfast/lunch/drink items and I can arrange for the tables/chairs/outlets. Bring your laptop because there will be sample data sets you can follow along with and bring your specific projects if you want to find a moment to get specific advice from Mike.

I'm going to mention that I'm not a financial participant in this training (I just offer him the venue because I think that good training on GPS processing is essential for surveyors) because I want my comments below to be taken in the light they are offered:

I took Mike's class right after the release of TBC and it paid off in spades in my ability to use TBC to its fullest. In later years, when I would consider my self very proficient with TBC I still walked away easily saying that the "price of admission" was more than met by the tips and tricks and new ideas that I learned from Mike and the sharing by the group of participants.

If you're going to sign up, please get on it so I can help Mike order the food and lunches and the right number of tables/chairs to get set up. This even is always a great excuse to do some semi-annual clean-up in the warehouse!
