New Features for Mobile Network
Endless
Surveying
Photos
One of the requests we
had was the ability to see
more photos than the
limiting 15 or so photos
you see from the network
feed. So this version
satisfies that in a huge
way! You can sit and
scroll through land
surveying photos all day
if you want! Enjoy!
Endless
Scrolling
When using the mobile
version, there is no
possible way that you
could not find something
to interest you, while
surfing from the field. All
pages on the mobile
version endlessly scroll
when you reach the
bottom of the page,
serving you up more and
more topics.

Go and Stay Productive!
Finding Your Groups While On the GoWhen you're out surveying in the field and using our mobile network interface from your
phone, it occurred to me that you would have an easier time finding which group forum
to post to, if you could just click My Groups and proceed to starting a discussion in the
relevant group. So I've done the leg work and made this easier for you. Take a look at the
new drop-down menu beside the search bar, which will make it super simple for you to
find your groups on the mobile version of our group forums page. Take a look at this
image (above) for reference on how to find it inside the mobile network.

Connect Your Social Profiles to Your LSUProfile and Update From The Field!It can be a chore to send multiple status updates to all of your social profiles, especially
when away from a computer. The fastest and easiest way to keep all of your social media
profiles like Facebook and Twitter is to sync them with your Land Surveyors United

Stay Connected Locally and SurveyGloballyNetwork With Your Local Group Members
We are all part of a dynamic group or society of professionals based on the geographic
location of our homes. By searching the new mobile groups, you can join a group forum
based on your location and share experiences right from the field. This will give us all a
better understanding of what it is like to be a surveyor in your area. Tell us about the
challenges you face such as environmental hurdles, wildlife safety, weather conditions,
etc. In our pursuit of a more global understanding of how surveyors operate around the
world, we can better equip ourselves for the challenges found within the industry
through creation of awareness.
Share Important Announcements in Your Area
State Boards, Professional Associations and Societies can all benefit from the ability to
keep everyone on the same page by making your most important announcements known
by sharing them in the local group forum based on a location. This will also make it
simpler to notify everyone of changes in a calendar or having local chapters RSVP for
important events.

How to Upload Photos From the
Ever had something break in the field? Sure we all have. By searching for the
manufacturer of the equipment and asking a question inside the correct group forum,
you are effectively targeting your question towards other members who are
familiar with that type of equipment. You could, for example, ask if some other
surveyor out there might have a user guide for the type of equipment you are using. Now
with Mobile Group Forums all of this can be possible without having to pack up and head
back to the office.
Troubleshoot Errors and Issues While IN the Field
Errors can destroy a productive day of surveying. Nevertheless, many errors can be
resolved quickly by asking a fellow surveyors who have dealt with and over come those
errors. Many errors for equipment simply have never been documented and therefore
you may never find the solution without asking a fellow experienced surveyor. Use the
Mobile Group Forums feature as your Get Out of Jail Free Card and contribute solutions
to common problems so that other surveyors can benefit from your experience, while on
the go!

Less Bugs and More FeaturesBug Smashing Mobile Rover Update
Tighting up the final stages of this phase for the Mobile Rover, and just wanted to let you
know of a few of the bugs we fixed, features added and things you can do with the new
Land Surveyors United Mobile.
~We provided an option for you to set the view for a Stories, Forum, Event or Groups
page to My Blog Posts, My Events, My Discussions etc. This will mean that signed in
members see their own list of items.
~We added the day of the week to the Event listing heading, so that surveyors can see at
a glance what day of the week an event is on. If you know of an upcoming event in your
area, please add it to the network. Events for now can only be added via the desktop
version of Land Surveyors United, but working on the mobile solution.
~For Forums, Surveyor Stories and Photos, we've added a "Show Search and Filter
options" checkbox to the management screen that will put a search field and dropdown
filter for available views into the mobile page. Groups and Events currently have this, and
now you have the option to provide it to members for other page types as well.
~We fixed the issue where members couldn't friend other members via mobile.
