inPSA: The site's digital mapping software just ate my whole trench grid
Heard a buddy of mine lost a whole week's worth of elevation data like that. His tablet just died mid-sync and the file corrupted beyond repair. The worst part was the boss refused to believe it wasn't his fault for not making backups. He had to work two straight weekends with a total station to redo it all. These expensive systems feel so fragile sometimes. Makes you want to just go back to a pencil and paper grid sometimes.
