MapSight Tools
Introduction
MapSight Tools are easy-to-use data capture modes. The specific MapSight Tools enabled on a
MapSight unit are restricted to those licensed for that individual MapSight unit.
The standard MapSight Tools have similar on-screen interfaces and start-to-finish workflows.
On-screen interface:
Example data capture preview screen for Target Position
1. Status
The top of the screen shows the
task name any any relevant icons
(e.g. battery level).
2. Video Preview
A streaming feed from the camera.
Most MapSight Tools show a
central crosshair to allow
accuracte targetting of point-of-
interest.
3. Instrument Readings
The lower section of the
screen
shows the instruments in use by
the selected MapSight Tool.
Where any instrument does not
have
a useable reading a
red
border will appear around that
reading.
4. Action Buttons
At the bottom of the screen action
buttons will show. Buttons may
differ depending on the options
relevant to the on-screen display.
Distance:
The laser rangefinder distance from the MapSight unit to the targetted object
Bearing:
The Compass bearing from the the MapSight unit towards the targetted object. This initially displays a
°M (
M
agentic) bearing, but as the GPS obtains a fix this will update to °T (
T
rue) to adjust for localised magnetic
declination/variance.
GPS Skyplot:
Shows an overhead view of detected GPS satellites. The black icons indicate satellites in use for
you fix and the white icons indicate satellited available but not in use. The thicker black line indicates the
direction to north.
GPS PDOP:
Shows a measure of the overall accuracy of the current position. The lower the PDOP the greater
the GPS positionmal accuracy is likey to be.
GPS Fix:
This indicates the status of the GPS fix with respect to GPS coverage, PDOP and enabled MapSight
functionality. If the GPS+ option is installed a
+
symbol will be appended to the fix indicator and a position
quality graph will display.
Workflow:
