Survey Pro User Guide Release Notes, October 2013
The content of this new Survey Pro User Guide reflects the changes and en-
hancements made to Survey Pro 5.4 compared to Survey Pro 5.3. The following
changes and add-ups have been introduced in this guide:
1. The Map View has two new features: The User Zoom Extent button and the
“Follow-me” function. These new features are described in Chapter 2 - In-
troduction to the Survey Pro User Interface (Map View section).
2. Extended data import capabilities through the IXL format (see Chapter 3 -
Creating a Job (Importing Data section).
3. Enhanced point management. Deleted points can be restored. Distinct
icons are used to represent design points and staked points (see Chapter 3
- Creating a Job (Managing Points section).
4. Enhanced GNSS status to show all the constellations and more information
on data recording. Survey Pro will also forward more information from the
GNSS receiver in the form of messages (see Chapter 4 - Choosing a Survey-
ing Mode... (Checking the GNSS Status section).
5. Simplified station setup in optical surveying mode (no more circle to set
with the Known Point method). See Chapter 5 - Optical Surveying (Station
Setup on Known Point section).
6. Remote elevation workflow enhanced. See Chapter 5 - Optical Surveying
(Remote Elevation section).
7. Fixing Station Setup function added to simplify survey rotate/translate op-
erations. See Chapter 5 - Optical Surveying (Fixing Station Setup section).
8. Stakeout routines enhanced by introducing the notion and management of
design and staked points. See Chapter 8 - Stakeout Routines.
9. Users can now easily choose which data to enter to identify a point being
collected (toggling between “Description” and “Feature” is very simple).
See Appendix - Advanced Information on Point Properties section.

pendix - Raw Data Viewer section.
