GPS is device used for navigation, marking the position, and so many additional features. With GPS, we can track the location even we dont know the way how to get there. So just enter the coordinate for examples from Pathloss into GPS and follow the track that GPS shown. To be expert using GPS, try to do som

Make a track

Go to menu 5 and choose TRACKS menu. Make sure that TRACK LOG is on. GPS automatically makes track record for the trip. Route can be saved and as a proven thing whether the person who has this duty really does this job well.

Marking some place

Microwave planning is never far from coordinate data. GPS can mark a place and show the coordinate. Step to mark some place is:

Exactly the place that wants to be marked must be visited.

1. Press Mark and fill the icon, name, coordinate. Press Avg to average this location with the smallest fault tolerance value for several times and the value of coordinate and height arent changed for certain period.

2. If succeed, the waypoint is showed on GPS map.

From the coordinate, surveyor can measure how far from one location to another location with pressing Menu and select MEASURE DISTANCE. Just move the joystick and we get distance information.

The height can be seen by press Find and select waypoint. After that, we know height information for this position

This process can be done if surveyor go to destination place and mark that. If the coordinate is known, waypoint can be mark with the same procedure but need to change the coordinate with desired coordinate.

Navigation

Another reason why GPS is made for is to navigate surveyor. With this feature, GPS can be guidance to go to the place that we want. Step to do navigation is:

1. Press Find and search in WAYPOINT or RECENT FIND to decide which place that will want to be visited.

2. Choose Go to. If the desired coordinate cannot be found, see procedure marking some place to fill that.

3. In GPS, bold line is showed. It is the shortest path from our position to destination position.

4. Go to menu 5 and look for HIGHWAY. This menu show in 3D graphic and the distance is shown.

Compatibility with computer

All information in GPS can be saved at computer with GPS software, for example, MapSource software.

1. Install MapSource, turn on and connect GPS with computer.

2. Open MapSource and choose RECEIVE FROM DEVICE.

3. All information has been saved in computer, just choose file or make a new one to save GPS data.

4. To send file from computer to GPS, just choose SEND TO DEVICE.
