Navigate to a point

If the controller is connected to a GNSS receiver, or you are using a controller with internal GPS, you can navigate to a point

  • during a conventional survey if you lose lock to the target
  • before you start a survey.

When using a controller with internal GPS, a connected GNSS receiver is always used in preference to the internal GPS.

The Navigate to point function uses the settings in the last used GNSS survey style.

If you are using a GNSS receiver that can track SBAS signals, when the radio link is down you can use SBAS positions instead of autonomous positions. To use SBAS positions, set the Satellite differential field in the survey style to SBAS.

    • Select the point in the map. Tap and hold in the map and select Navigate to point.
