Abstract

A GNSS data collection system includes a pole mounted GNSS receiver and inclination sensors. The range pole has an adjustable length and an integrated electronic measurement device to capture and provide length data. A data collection module provides a data collection graphical user interface (GUI) visible on a hand-held data collector computer. The data collector computer is communicably coupled to the GNSS receiver and/or the electronic measurement device and receives three-dimensional location data, the length data, and inclination data for the range pole in real-time. The inclination data and height of the range pole are used to calculate and display horizontal distance and direction to level the GNSS receiver.
