Section 11 - Map View
Map View is a unique feature that allows the user to graphically view the path travelled by the
system, and any flags or interpretations made. This is helpful in determining the linearity and
consistency of buried objects. It will also display a view showing the lines collected as part of a
grid.
A common use of this feature is to snake back and forth over a given area. Each time you cross
a target producing a hyperbola, back up to the top of the hyperbola and add an interpretation. If
the object is a linear feature, all the interpretations will line up when viewed in Map View.
Map View only works if GPS data is collected with the GPR data. This is what allows the lines
and/or grids to be positioned correctly (with the right orientation).
If you use the internal GPS, only grid data will be shown in Map View. If an external GPS is
connected, both line and grid data will be shown.

11.2 Accessing Map View (RD1500 Enhanced)
Map View can be accessed from the File Management menu or from the main screen.
Remember that in the Enhanced configuration, Map View is
project based, meaning it will
display all lines and grids that are present in a given project.
