Uploading Points to ProMark3
GNSS Solutions lets you upload control points, reference
points and target points to ProMark3. Points will always be
uploaded to the ProMark3 internal memory, whatever the stor-
age setting (internal memory or SD card).
All points uploaded to ProMark3 are always seen as waypoints
in the ProMark3, regardless of their original types. In addition,
they can also be seen as control points if you ask GNSS Solu
-
tions to do so.
Finally, you can choose whether the points you upload will add
up to the list of existing waypoints or will replace this list (at
one step before the uploading, you will have to check or clear
the Erase existing waypoints option).
In ProMark3, waypoints can only be used for navigation, and
more particularly through the GOTO function. Unlike the list
of waypoints, the list of control points can be used at different
levels:
- When setting a ProMark3 RTK base station, you can
access the list of control points to choose the point where
the base station is installed. By selecting this point, you
quickly define the position of the base without having to
enter its coordinates.
- When initializing a ProMark3 RTK rover on a known point,
selecting “Known” as the RTK Initialization option gives
access to the list of control points from which you can
select the point where RTK initialization is to take place.
- Running a Stakeout survey with the ProMark3 RTK opens
the list of control points from which you can choose the
point you want to stake out. It is therefore essential that
you upload your target points as waypoints AND control
points so you can select them as targets when you run
your stakeout survey.
- In a ProMark3, or in a ProMark3 RTK used in Post-Pro-
cessing receiver mode, selecting “Known” as the Initialize
method in a Stop&Go or Kinematic survey opens the list of
control points from which you can choose the point where
initialization is performed.
