Land surveying equipment includes tools used to measure and map the Earth's surface. Common instruments include theodolites, which measure angles, and total stations, which combine electronic distance measurement with angle measurement. GPS receivers are also widely used for precise location data. Other essential equipment includes levels for determining elevation and measuring tapes for distance measurement. Tripods provide stability for instruments, while surveying rods help in reading measurements. Together, these tools enable surveyors to create accurate maps and property boundaries, essential for construction, land development, and legal purposes.
