Managing GPS Coordinates in
Survey Pro
Survey Pro for Windows CE uses a binary file with the extension
*.job. A .JOB file point record will contain a point name, plane
location (N, E, Z), and a description. It may also contain geodetic
coordinates for points calculated, imported, or measured with GPS, as
well as poly lines, alignments, layers, attributes, base maps, and
automatic line work structures.
Edit Points
You can edit all of a point’s values using the Edit Points screen from
the Job menu. This is described in more detail in the User’s and
Reference Manual. Below are some special instructions for editing
geodetic coordinates.
1. Select the point you want to edit and tap Edit, or double tap the
point in the list to open the edit screens.
2. The three cards of the Edit Point screen display the current
properties and the plane and geodetic locations of the selected
point.
3. On the Geodetic card, you can tap Advanced to open the Edit GPS
Point Flags screen. This screen allows you to edit the flags
associated with GPS points:
• Set up group: This flag identifies groups of points collected
from the same autonomous base setup. For more information
on set up groups, see Page 276.
