Measure - Hidden Points
37.5.1
Overview
This feature is available in GS mode. It allows measuring points that cannot be
directly accessed with the GS. For instance, if a point physically cannot be
reached or because no satellites can be tracked in the point to be measured
due to obstructions.
•
A hidden point can be calculated by measuring distances and/or azimuths
to the hidden point using a hidden point measurement device. Or for dis-
tances a tape can be used.
•
Extra auxiliary points can be manually measured.
•
Bearings can be computed from previously measured points.
In contrast to the COGO app, hidden point measurements are more of a meas-
uring app than a calculation app.
Example
Application:
Completing a survey of telegraph poles for a
telecommunication company.
Aim:
The telegraph poles must be surveyed to
0.3 m accuracy in plan but height is not of
concern.
