Forgot to mention - not a single grade or alignment stake was driven
for the parking lot. The dozer operator can see exactly where he is
on his computer, and the "light bar" steering guides make it so he
doesn't have to actually watch the computer screen all the time. A
split screen cross section display gives blade elevation above
cut/fill grade (or just watch the vertical guide light bars). No
little stake men to run over makes for a safer, cheaper operation, and
with a heated cab it becomes truly an all-weather job.
