Land Surveyors United is the first social network in the world exclusively geared for land surveying professionals and the GPS, mapping and geomatics community. This group creates a virtual space for surveyors to post their technology related questions, experiences, tips, tricks and advise for the field. Members are surveyors, of course, most of which spend the majority of their day in the woods or along the side of the road measuring and creating the landscapes of our cities and towns. As an online community comprised entirely of like minded individuals, LSU provides a place to find equipment, collaborate and troubleshoot problems in the field and find reference materials related to surveying. All content is subscription friendly and can be read via RSS feed reader. Small surveying firms can promote their business and jobs can be sought and found. This is truly the first community of its kind, ever!

Land surveyors have little time to spend in front of a computer searching for the answers, equipment, instructions and specifications that they need in order to work and stay ahead of competition. They also know a lot of tricks that can be used in the field that might help others. LSU creates a space exclusively for these professionals to share advise, video, reference material and photos with other surveyors. There is not another place on the web where surveyors will feel more at home.
