Abstract
A system for marking surveying points has a maker that is installed, e.g., buried, at a surveying point along a property boundary. Information indicative of a geographic location of the surveying point is shared in the marker. In order to later find the surveying point, a communication device is carried to the approximate location of the marker, and the communication device interrogates the marker to retrieve the stored information, which can then be used to determine the geographic location of the surveying point.
