Staking Points

With GNSS

• Go to the

Stakeout menu and tap Stake Points

• Use the

Design Point field to enter the name of the first point you want to

stake.

• Enter an integer in

Increment. This will allow Survey Pro to automatically

select the next design point to stake once the current one has been staked.

e.g. “ST101” first staked and Increment= 2, then next point will be “ST103”.

(Tapping the

Next Point button will instantly select the next point from the

list, based on the

Increment value.)

• Set the rover antenna height.

• Tap

Stake. This opens the screen that will guide you to the point. Survey Pro

offers two different navigation modes to help you walk to the design point.

NOTE: In the example above, the direction to follow is provided as

Go North / Go East

instructions. Survey Pro can instead provide

Azimuth / Distance to the point if it’s

more convenient for you. Go to

Job > Settings > Stakeout tab to change the setting of

the

Display Directions As field. Point tolerance (different from acceptance criteria)

can also be set on this tab.

Tap on the

button to select one of these modes:

–

: The top of the screen will always show the selected reference point

or azimuth you select through the

Ref... button ([1]).

–

: The top of the screen will always show the direction in which you

are walking ([2]). A large red arrow will appear as you walk. The North
(N) and South (S) directions will be shown as well. You can also define
a reference point or azimuth using the

Ref... button. The resulting

direction will appear as a blue line starting from your current position.

• Walk toward the design point following the instructions on the screen (see

table below).
