A good friend of mine has been writing surveying software for years. Its called miniCAD. Visit - mapsoft.com.au

It has a very similar flavour to programs like Civilcad or Magnet. Its an Australian designed and owned software and capable of handling many of the important surveying calculations we use on a daily basis such as least squares (localisation), cut / fill volume calcs, long sections and cross sections, contouring, basic draw point, traverse, draw line, offset calcs etc...

Its miniCAD but big in what it offers.

So good its a subscription based software at $75 AUD per year....

You'd be mad not to download a free trial and test for yourself.

Visit mapsoft.com.au and check it out....

I don't receive any commission for recommending this and happy to do the same if you have such a product or item, surveying equipment you wish to promote or have me review, on my channel --- Contact me.....

If you do buy or download miniCAD let them know where you heard this from!

Hi everyone. Thanks to all who have subscribed and left comments saying they plan to take up a form of study in Surveying whether that be a TAFE or University or equiv.

I'd like to promote another option for study in Australia called the "Surveyors Academy".
www.consultingsurveyors.com.au/our-industry/survey…


The training model is a work based program that requires one day per week
release from work to attend online, teacher led theory training. Practical training is
through work based evidence collection under a supervising surveyor, mapped to
the units of competency with work based and online assessments.

Check it out and feel free to ask me any questions.

If you are watching and happen to be a surveying instrument supplier / manufacturer - I'd love to road test and promote your product and make a video. Contact me to discuss.

Hi everyone. Thanks for watching the latest video. Yes this one is slightly longer. It was long surveying day! I hope you enjoyed it.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

I'd love to know if you prefer to watch long videos or shorter ones. Sometimes the site offers more opportunity for content and so a longer videos suits.

What do you prefer?
Your answers will help me decide whether I break up the adventure into smaller parts or just 1 long video.

Please feel free to offer some feedback. I won't be offended. See you on the next video.

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. I've just got back from a European holiday. With the recent IT glitch which caused major disruptions worldwide with computers, airlines, banks etc --- I was caught up in it. Just getting back to Australia was a nightmare. Thanks so much for following the channel, watching the videos and stay tuned for more surveying related content!
