Yup. There should be another device some distance away that this is pointing at to get a reading. -- nm - Krusty May 29, 10:36 5
- There's no team or devices in line of sight. Well not in immediate line of sight. I guess they could be significantly far away and up on a hill - JD May 29, 10:48 4

  - Yes, it can be done with GPS these days (which is what it looks like they're doing) -- nm* - Reagen May 29, 10:50 1
    - Ahh..so no more recording angles and distances in little surveyors notebooks -- nm - JD May 29, 11:02
  - Oh..and it has been there for a least a couple hours or so with nobody seemingly around -- nm - JD May 29, 10:49
