There are different types of land surveys like boundary surveys, residential surveys, topographical land surveys and a number of other surveys. This article will explain you about the kind of results that you will get with topographical surveys. The most prevalent kind of survey that we come across is the boundary surveys which provide us with the boundaries for any piece of property. ™

Topographic surveys, on the other hand establishes the different man-made and the natural features of the land in context. This survey can serve fruitful results to property owners, industrial owners, or even the properties that are under construction. The land, in context may include hills, trees, fences, buildings, ravines or any other improvements that are in process on the inherent natural features of the land. The topographical survey will provide you with the exact figures of the size, height, position of the different changes that have occurred in course of time with regard to their presence of their natural existence.

Topographical surveys are also referred as contour surveys and they are also conducted before the change in the ownership of the land or even when the property owner is intending to make some changes in the land. The main focus of the topographical surveys is - on the distance from the ground rather than the horizontal measurements. Horizontal measurements are provided with an in-depth focus on boundary and residential surveys.

In topographical surveys, most of the measurements are done with the high quality unit or with an electronic instruments (that measure distance with the usage of light and radio waves). The results of the survey are presented in the form of contour lines on maps of the land; unlike in other types of surveys where the results are marked using stakes or other landmarks.

These days with the usage of high level technological units, you can easily have digital versions of the maps and even the interactive elevation views of the land. The data can be used in Auto CAD programs, which is in turn is worked upon by the engineers and thereby you can easily have the view of how the topography will change after the planned changes.

There are many uses of topographic land surveys, the results serve fruitfully almost in every field. Engineers and architects can use the survey results for designing buildings and other improvements that have to be taken place on the property. In some cases, they are also used by the Government. Most of the constructions projects typically begin with topographic surveys as it provides the framework of the land before the improvements are made. Sometimes, the topographical surveys are also used for the formulation of an optimal plan for drainage, ditches, grading and other features. Thus, the results of the topographical surveys i.e.; the natural landscape serve as the basis for the formulation of optimal plans. The results render all the minute details like the elevation of slopes which may be useful figures particularly if you are intending to build on the land. In addition, to the provision of data for developments of undeveloped surveys; they also provide appropriate information for the area that is been previously used.

The design and manufacture of the modern electric trolling motors that are available in the market place today using the latest electronic technology and quality materials have made these motors very reliable, tough and affordable.

There are many to choose from but as with most products some are better than others. On average when reading customer reviews, approximately five out of ten buyers will give the same item a four to five star rating (giving me confidence), then another two or three buyers will give three to two stars (these guys seem to have legit reasons to gripe, so not yet a train smash), but then there are at least one or two people who absolutely trash it( diminishing my faith in the product ).

However when reading between the lines it makes me wonder if these trashers have actually bought or even seen the item but perhaps they have their own agenda where they are promoting something similar.

From experience and what I have learned from speaking to pro fishermen and others boaters who use these motors which are constructed to withstand great abuse, you can be confident they will give you trouble free boating pleasure for many years. I had a salt water trolling motor which was stored in a leaky old shed in my garden for many years without any attention yet every time I used it, it would respond without hassle, just like my faithful dog, a Jack Russel named Salty, who absolutely loved to go fishing.

Here Are 5 Positive Reasons to Get Involved With Trolling Motors

1) Because they are very quiet, easy to use and environment friendly, they create minimum disturbance to other boaters, the local fauna and flora and those people who are lucky to live on the banks of the waterways.

2) They are light and easy to install or remove.Transom mount motors are available for smaller boats and kayaks, and if you want absolute maneuverability or have a larger boat a bow mount motor is required.

3) They are available with different thrust levels, battery power and shaft lengths catering for all the different boats and environment situations that may be encountered.

4) Fantastic to use on your craft for stealth fishing, they quietly get you into those fishing hot spots normally impossible to reach without scaring the living daylights out of the fish you are trying to catch. Whether it is shallow water, deepwater or very weedy spots you are fishing in, these motors will not let you down.

5) To control your boat can choose either to hand steer, foot steer or by electronic self directional steer i.e. co pilot, auto pilot or GPS iPilot. These features will take care of your boat so to allow you to seriously concentrate on your fishing. The latest iPilot with GPS takes fishing with trolling motors to whole new exciting the level.

Some Negative Reasons

1) The biggest negative is the fact that unless you are set up so that you can charge your batteries in your boat, is having to remove them for recharging and for security reasons if your boat is left on a mooring or chained to a tree. To load them into the car after every trip, especially if there are two or three of them, can be a bit of a pain. If you are using a single 12 volt battery then it's a no brainer.

2) If you are looking for enough power to tow the kids at speed behind the boat on a tube or ski, then forget about getting one because you will go nowhere.

3) If you want higher thrust motors you will be carrying the extra weight of two or three heavy marine batteries. Make sure you have the space for them and if your boat is small the weight won't affect its performance.

4) Good batteries are expensive but if looked after should last four to five years. Since you are not spending money on gas this cost is kind of negated.

It is important to use a manufacturers recommended circuit breaker fitted in line with your trolling motor wiring to the battery. Do not skimp on getting some cheap inferior make.

I have no doubt that once you have had your first experience using one of these motors, then just like the fish you are hunting you to will be hooked.
