With technology progressing by the minute, it can be confusing why one would hire a survey company instead of simply using GPS. However, the two are far from being equivalent. Check out this helpful list of differences between GPS surveys and conventional land surveying to aid in your decision:

• Faster Doesn’t Always Mean Better: While both GPS and conventional land surveying identify and map land using trigonometry, GPS performs its calculations at the speed of light. Although this process is quicker and easier for the surveying company, it’s bound to give you a much rougher result than the precise calculations of manual observations and math. Instead of simply entering coordinates into a computer system, enlist the help of skilled professionals who can account for oddities and double check their hand-done results.
• Conventional Land Surveying Works Everywhere: In order to complete its speedy equation, a GPS needs to bounce information off of a satellite, a signal which is easily interrupted. If you need to survey land anywhere besides an open plain — such as a thick forest or an area surrounded by buildings — the interrupted GPS signal won’t give you accurate results. Conventional land surveying is accurate in any environment, as humans can work around potential obstacles.
• The Law Favors Conventional Surveys: GPS systems rely on coordinates to find distance, but property corners and boundaries are not legally defined by these bearings. Conventional surveying tactics use legally defined monuments, such as iron pins, that create property boundary lines to give you information that is officially recognized.
