Choose to Use Ground – TDS Localization when
your survey is a ground level site with no
projection and no datum to relate the local

coordinates to geodetic. When you choose
Ground – TDS Localization

, the next step will be

base and rover setup, and solving the

localization adjustment.

Choose to Select a Mapping Plane Zone when
your survey coordinate system is a conformal

mapping plane defined in the coordinate

system database. When you choose Mapping

Plane

mode, your next step will be to select a coordinate system from

the database (Page 216). Then, you will proceed with base and rover
setup. If you set the base on a known point, you do not need a

localization adjustment and you will be ready to collect data after

rover setup. If you start from an autonomous base, you must solve a
localization adjustment.

Start GPS Survey – Choose Geoid

Use the Select Geoid Model screen to select a

geoid model and data file to use with either the
Ground - TDS Localization

or Mapping Plane

zone. This screen only appears as part of the
GPS Start Survey wizard when a geoid is not

currently assigned.
1. Select a Geoid Model to use from the list.

2. If there are no data files for the selected

geoid model, the File control will display
"No .ggf files for this geoid." If there is only

one data file for the selected geoid, the File

control will display that .GGF file name. If there are multiple

data files for the selected geoid, select the geoid you wish to use

from the list. When there is a geoid file displayed, the File Name
control displays the data file name from the .GGF file header.

• Tap Accept to set the geoid for the current projection record

and/or change the data file used by the current geoid model.
