Managing GPS Coordinates in
Survey Pro

Survey Pro for Windows CE uses a binary file with the extension

*.job. A .JOB file point record will contain a point name, plane
location (N, E, Z), and a description. It may also contain geodetic

coordinates for points calculated, imported, or measured with GPS, as

well as poly lines, alignments, layers, attributes, base maps, and
automatic line work structures.

Edit Points

You can edit all of a point’s values using the Edit Points screen from

the Job menu. This is described in more detail in the User’s and
Reference Manual. Below are some special instructions for editing

geodetic coordinates.

1. Select the point you want to edit and tap Edit, or double tap the

point in the list to open the edit screens.

2. The three cards of the Edit Point screen display the current

properties and the plane and geodetic locations of the selected

point.

3. On the Geodetic card, you can tap Advanced to open the Edit GPS

Point Flags screen. This screen allows you to edit the flags

associated with GPS points:

• Set up group: This flag identifies groups of points collected

from the same autonomous base setup. For more information
on set up groups, see Page 264.

• GPS Control Point H/V: These flags identify points to be

included in the localization control point list and whether to
use those points for the horizontal and/or vertical solution.

For more information on set up groups, see Page 264.

4. If you change either the plane or geodetic location, and the point

has geodetic coordinates, will be warned of the possible

consequences, and, depending on your projection settings,
