1. Introduction
Thank you for buying a ProMark3 RTK or ProMark3 system from Magellan.

What is ProMark3?
ProMark3 is a data collector allowing you to perform Survey and GIS jobs. It also includes a full set of navigation functions. ProMark3 includes a large, high-resolution screen and offers enhanced communication with Bluetooth, USB and serial connections. ProMark3 can be upgraded into a ProMark3 RTK by installing the appropriate firmware available from the Magellan FTP server and then enabling the RTK function through a password. For more information, please refer to Unlocking RTK and FAST Survey on page 71.

What is ProMark3 RTK?

ProMark3 RTK offers the same functions as ProMark3 plus the capability to perform real-time, centimeter-accurate surveys using BLADE, Magellans special RTK L1 algorithm. From the hardware point of view, ProMark3 RTK is strictly similar to ProMark3. RTK implementation in ProMark3 RTK relies on the use of: - A base/rover system (base/rover configuration) with its dedicated data link (license-free radio), - A network connection (NTRIP or Direct IP, via GPRS), in which case no user-owned base is required (rover-only configuration), - Or any other solution using an external RTCM source (beacon, etc.). To perform your surveys with ProMark3 RTK, you can use either the built-in Surveying function or, as an option, the Magellan FAST Survey software.

This Getting Started Guide covers both the ProMark3 and ProMark3 RTK systems. For the sake of simplicity, and unless otherwise specified, the term ProMark3 refers to both the ProMark3 RTK and ProMark3 systems. RTK Setup, Standard RTK: Surveying and Advanced RTK: FAST Survey Option are chapters specific to ProMark3 RTK.

System Components Overview

The table below provides an overview of the different key items composing the ProMark3.

Keyboard
In addition to the 8 specific keys (LOG, NAV, ESC, IN, OUT, ENTER, MENU and Power), ProMark3 is fitted with an alphanumeric keypad. The cursor keys are used to move the cursor left, right, up and down on the screen. Buttons 2-9 contain alphanumeric characters.

Using the Stylus

The stylus is used for menu selection or data input on the touch-screen. The following terminology is used: Tap: Touch the screen once with the stylus to select or open an item. Double-tap: Touch the screen twice rapidly to open a selected item. Drag: Hold the stylus on the screen and drag it across to select text. Drag in a list to select multiple items.

Press vs. Tap - Key vs. Button

Pressing the LOG key does not describe the same action as tapping the Log button.

In this guide, the verb Press refers to any action performed on the keyboard and Tap refers to any action performed with the stylus on the touch screen, including on the on-screen keypad. Likewise, the name key refers to any key on the keyboard and button refers to any on-screen pushbutton.

On-Screen Keypad
The ProMark3 screen now continually displays a keypad icon in its lower-right corner. This icon gives you permanent control over the ProMark3s on-screen keypad. The icon operates as a toggle switch. Any time, you can tap it to show or hide the onscreen keypad. Note that the ProMark3 continues to automatically display the on-screen keypad when context requires data entry. It disappears when you press ENTER.

Tap this icon to show or hide the on-screen keypad.

Calibrating the Screen

For the first-time use, you need to align your display screen so the cursor on the touch screen align with the tip of your stylus. Use the stylus pen to tap the center of each target that appears on the Calibration screen with the tip of the stylus. Tap anywhere on the display when finished. To re-calibrate your screen at anytime, double-tap the Settings icon then double-tap Stylus from the list, tap the Calibration tab and then follow the instructions.

Automatic System Time Update

ProMark3 will automatically update the system date & time using the GPS time determined by the integrated GPS receiver and the time zone that you specify. To set the time zone: In the ProMark3 workspace, double-tap the Settings icon. Double-tap the Date/Time function. This opens the Date/ Time Properties screen. Set the time zone field (see opposite) and then select OK on top of the screen. Please note that you should wait for a few seconds, after turning on ProMark3, before system time can effectively be updated.

Adjusting the Backlight

To switch the backlight on/off for both the keypad and display, or to adjust the brightness and screen contrast, double-tap the Settings icon on the ProMark3 workspace and then double-tap the Backlight Control function. To conserve battery power, we recommend you to switch the backlight off whenever possible. For other settings, please refer to the ProMark3 Reference Manual.

Initializing GPS
Take the receiver to a location where there is a clear view of the sky, then: - From the ProMark3 workspace, tap successively the Utilities icon and then the GPSInit icon. - Initialize the receiver using one of the two methods below: 1.If you dont have the slightest idea of what the coordinates of your current position are, check the Choose Country option (see screen below left), select respectively your region and country in the two fields underneath, enter the date and time (bottom of the screen) and then tap OK to start the initialization process. This closes the GPS Initialization window.

Please Go Outside to Perform Initialization! Initialization is required when 1) the receiver is brand new, 2) you have moved more than 500 miles from the last place you were using it, 3) memory has been completely erased or 4) the receiver has not been used for more than a few months.

2.If you have a rough idea of what the coordinates of your current position are, directly enter these coordinates in the Latitude and Longitude fields (see screen above right), enter the date and time (bottom of the screen) and then tap OK to start the initialization process. This closes the GPS Initialization window.

Preliminary Settings
From the ProMark3 workspace, do the following: Double-tap the Surveying icon if you want to perform a real-time (ProMark3 RTK only) or post-processing survey. Or double-tap the Mobile Mapping icon if you want to perform a GIS job. Whatever your choice, ProMark3 will then display a navigation screen. Just press the NAV or ESC button to scroll through the different available navigation screens. For more information on Navigation screens, please refer to chapter Navigation Tools on page 69.

Access to Preliminary Settings

Now that ProMark3 displays a navigation screen, press the MENU key and tap Setup (see screen opposite). There are many options to select among, and all are explained in full in the ProMark3 RTK / ProMark3 Reference Manual available from the documentation CD. For the purposes of getting started, however, we will concentrate on just a few of these options. As a general rule, tap an option to open the corresponding setting window. Then tap the desired value. This will enable the value and take you back to the Setup menu. You can also return to the Setup menu by pressing the ESC button.

Choosing the Storage Medium

ProMark3 can store your jobs either in its internal memory or on the SD card you have inserted in the unit. Tap the desired option.

Entering the Receiver ID

(From within Surveying function only) The Receiver ID screen provides you with the ability to enter the 4-character receiver ID which is used in naming the raw data files. Each raw data file from this receiver will include this 4-character receiver ID.

Specifying the Antenna Used

You select this option to define the type of external antenna used, its height and the unit used to express this height. Three different types of antennas are listed (ProMark Antenna 110454, NAP100 or Other). If you choose Other, you will have to define the following parameters for your antenna: antenna radius, phase center offset and SHMP offset (slant height measurement point offset).
Antenna Radius SHMP Offset Phase Center Offset

The choices made through the External Antenna option become the default antenna settings for all the ProMark3 surveying and mobile mapping functions.

Choosing the Units

You select this option to set the units of measurement you want to use. Units are presented in this order: long distances, short distances, speed and area. You can set these units to kilometers, meters, kph and hectares or miles, feet, mph, acres if you like, or to three other standard sets of units. You can also create a custom mix of units by selecting the Advanced option that contains a wide variety of units for distance, speed, elevation, bearing and area.

Satellite Status screen

Checking that ProMark3 Receives Satellites

Press NAV repeatedly until the Satellite Status screen is displayed. This screen shows which satellites the receiver is tracking and where they are located in the sky. If you are not tracking 3 or more satellites you may have to move to a more open area. When used with its internal antenna (Mobile Mapping only), the receiver will have the best view of the sky when you hold it at an angle of 45 degrees from horizontal and not too close to you.

45

This allows the internal antenna to function optimally for the best accuracy. In Survey jobs for which the external antenna is mandatory, only the vertical orientation of this antenna is important.

3. RTK Setup
Introduction to RTK
Enabling the RTK algorithm in the ProMark3 RTK is simply done by launching Surveying, pressing MENU, selecting Receiver Mode and then Real-Time or Real-Time & Raw Data Recording. From this time on, the ProMark3 RTK will operate to deliver fixed position solutions, provided the operating requirements are met. Selecting Real-Time & Raw Data Recording is a safe way to perform a real-time survey. With raw data recorded in the background, you will have the capability to post-process the raw data in the office. This however requires that base raw data be also available for the same period of time (see also page 39). The table below summarizes the keywords and principles used in the RTK technique. Please carefully read this table before getting started.
When the base setup is under your responsibility, make sure the base is sited in a clear area giving the best possible view of the sky! When this is possible, avoid trees, buildings or any high obstacles in the vicinity of the base. Having a clear view of the sky will allow the base to collect data from a maximum of visible satellites, which is highly recommended to perform a successful, accurate and fast survey.

1. Corrections. Corrections generated by a static receiver (base) are needed for the rover to be able to deliver centimeter-accurate positions. 2. Data Link. The data link that must be established to transfer corrections from the base to the rover can be implemented in three different ways with ProMark3 RTK: license-free radio, cellular phone (GPRS) or any other external RTCM device. 3. Base. Depending on the chosen data link, the base will be either: A ProMark3 RTK set as a base and generating RTCM3.1 corrections. Or an external provider delivering its corrections via the Internet. In this case, corrections may be the following: RTCM3 or RTCM2.3.

5. Rover Initialization. Before starting a survey, the rover must be initialized. There are three possible methods: On The Fly, Known Point and Bar. The Bar method can only be used if you have your own base. The initialization methods are introduced in the postprocessing chapter (see page 42). The description is accurate for real-time processing too. Unlike post-processing though, real-time processing tells you in real time when initialization is complete. Compared with post-processing surveying, RTK surveying proposes a fourth initialization method called Static. With this method, the antenna should stay still over an unknown point until initialization is achieved. This method gives faster initialization than On-The-Fly initialization in the same operating conditions. The time required for initializing the rover ranges from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the baseline length, the GPS constellation and the initialization method used. Known Point and Bar are the fastest initialization methods. 6. Baseline Length. Whatever the base used, its distance to the rover, called baseline (up to 1.6 km or 1.0 mile with license-free radios, up to 10 km with a network connection), must roughly be known to make sure RTK positions will achieve the expected level of accuracy.

Base/Rover Configuration
You are using your own ProMark3 RTK base to generate the RTCM corrections needed by the rover. A pair of Magellan license-free, plug-and-play radios is used for the data link.

In the Base/Rover Configuration example described in this guide: - Surveying is used as the user interface. - The base is installed on a known point. The coordinates of this point were uploaded to ProMark3 RTK from a GNSS Solutions project containing this point. This means the point is now selectable from the list of control points stored in the ProMark3 RTK. NOTE: Points uploaded to ProMark3 RTK through this method always have their coordinates automatically converted to WGS84. - The Bar method is used to achieve rover initialization. On the rover, a range pole fitted with a quick release adaptor is required to use this method.

The higher the radio, the better the quality and range of the radio link.

Warning! Unscrewing the radio antenna protection is pointless or even hazardous for the antenna.

6. Secure the radio bracket onto the RTK vertical antenna extension. Place it as high as possible, just underneath the GNSS antenna, as shown. Placing the radio too low will reduce the radio range. 7. Connect the external antenna cable to the GNSS antenna. 8. Connect the other end of the external antenna cable to the ProMark3 RTK. Lift the flap on the side on the unit to access the antenna input connector. 9. Connect the radio cable to the back of the receiver. The connection is secure after you have fully tightened the thumb screw. 10.Place the ProMark3 RTK receiver into the field bracket. 11.Attach the field bracket / ProMark3 RTK combination onto the tripod. 12.Measure and record the instrument height (HI) of the GNSS antenna. 13.Turn on the ProMark3 RTK and check that the green LED indicator on the radio is on. This means the connection between the radio and the ProMark3 RTK is correct and the radio is normally powered.

Configuring the Base

Remember in this example that the position of the base is stored in the ProMark3 RTK as a control point (see page 13). Follow the instructions below: 1. Double-tap the Surveying icon. 2. Press MENU, tap Receiver Mode, then Real-Time. 3. Press MENU, tap Base Station and enter the base parameters: Site ID: Allows you to quickly enter the coordinates of the base: Tap the right-arrow button to the right of the field.

Elapsed: Counts the time since you started initialization. # Sats: Should be 6 or more for fast initialization. PDOP: Should be less than 3. Age: Should stay around 2 seconds. If it starts increasing steadily, this probably means RTCM corrections are no longer received. Check your radios. Solution: Position solution status. Should be a blinking Float throughout initialization. When Fixed appears in the Solution field, this means the rover is initialized. A new button (OK) then appears next to the Cancel button. 7. Tap OK to close the Initialization window. 8. Move the rover antenna from the initializer bar to the top of the rover pole (see picture below right). While doing this, take care not to mask the rover antenna or else you would have to resume initialization.

9. Refer to Standard RTK: Surveying on page 24 to start your survey.

Rover-Only Configuration (Network)

Two types of connections are possible: NTRIP and Direct IP. Both rely on the use of a Bluetooth-enabled, GPRS-enabled cell phone within range of the ProMark3 RTK. No user-owned base needs to be deployed in this configuration.

In the Rover-Only Configuration example described in this guide: - Surveying is used as the user interface. - The NTRIP mode is used to acquire RTCM corrections from the Internet. - The Known Point method is used to achieve rover initialization. The coordinates of the known point were uploaded to ProMark3 RTK from a GNSS Solutions project containing this point. This means the point is now selectable from the list of control points stored in the ProMark3 RTK. NOTE: Points uploaded to ProMark3 RTK through this method always have their coordinates automatically converted to WGS84.

Setting Up the Rover

Install the unit on its range pole: 1. Mount the GNSS antenna on the pole 2. Attach the field bracket onto the pole 3. Place the ProMark3 receiver into the field bracket 4. Connect the GNSS antenna to the unit using the cable provided. 5. Measure the antenna height.

4. Standard RTK: Surveying

It is assumed that RTK has been implemented according to the instructions provided in chapter RTK Setup on page 11. Once the rover has been initialized (see page 17 or page 23, depending on whether you are in base/rover or rover-only configuration), you can move on to the survey as such. Always take care to maintain maximum satellite visibility from the antenna in order to preserve system initialization. If the rover loses initialization, you will need to resume this step using whichever initialization method is preferable in your context of use (see page 12).

Logging Points in Real Time

1. Walk to the first point you want to log and stand still on that point. 2. Press the LOG key and then enter the following parameters: Site ID: A 4-character string. Survey Mode: Logging Point. Site Description: An optional 20-character narrative description of the point. Tap inside the field, enter your text from the on-screen keypad and press ENTER. Antenna Height: From the reference point. Units: Antenna height unit (meters, US feet or Int feet). Height Type: Slant or Vertical. Time on site (sec): Time, in seconds, that must elapse, with the antenna not moving, before the rover stores the position of the point (default: 15 seconds). You decide the duration of the occupation (If it is greater than 1 second, the position solutions will be averaged over this period of time to improve accuracy. If it is 1 second, there is no position averaging but work proceeds more quickly).

3. Tap the OK button. This opens a new screen on which you can see the following parameters: The name of the opened log file is shown in the title bar between brackets. Baseline: Baseline length in km Solution: Solution status. Check that it is Fixed for centimeter accuracy. Receiver status: SV: Number of received SVs. Should be 6 or more. PDOP: Should be less than 3. Age: Age of corrections (should not be greater than 2 sec). HRMS and VRMS: Should be in the order of 0.03 meters (1.2 inches) when the position is fixed. Always displayed in meters whatever the chosen distance unit. Your positions current coordinates, as determined by the system. 4. If you are satisfied with the quality of the displayed data, tap the on-screen LOG button. This opens a new screen on which you can now see the Remain field count down. When Remain=00:00:00, the STORE button appears at the bottom of the screen (see screen below right).

If the point you save has a Fixed solution, then it is stored as a control point. This means it can later be selected from the list of control points to initialize the system with the rover precisely located over this point.

5. Tap the STORE button. This saves the point position and takes you back to the Logging Point screen where you can see that the Site ID has automatically been incremented by one.

6. Move to the next point you want to log. 7. Resume steps 3 through 6 as many times as necessary. 8. When all points have been logged, tap DONE on the screen. This closes the open log file, which now contains the positions of all the logged points, and takes you back to the last displayed navigation screen.

Logging Trajectories in Real Time

1. Walk to the start point of the trajectory and stand still on that point. 2. Press the LOG key and then enter the following parameters: Site ID: A 4-character string. Survey Mode: Kinematic. Site Description: An optional 20-character narrative description of the point. Tap inside the field, enter your text from the on-screen keypad and press ENTER. Antenna Height: From the reference point. Units: Antenna height unit (meters, US feet or Int feet) Height Type: Slant or Vertical. Interval Type: Time or Distance, according to whether you want the points of the trajectory to be created and logged at regular intervals of time or distance. Interval: Time elapsed, in seconds, or distance traveled, in meters, between any two point positions logged along the trajectory followed.

3. Tap the OK button. This opens a new screen on which you can see the following parameters: The name of the opened log file is shown in the title bar between brackets. Baseline: Baseline length Solution: Solution status. Check that is Fixed (for centimeter accuracy). Receiver status: SV: Number of received SVs. Should be 6 or more. PDOP: Should be less than 3. Age: Age of corrections (should not be greater than 2 sec). HRMS and VRMS: Should be in the order of 0.03 meters (1.2 inches) when the position is fixed. Always displayed in meters whatever the chosen distance unit. Your positions current coordinates, as determined by the system. 4. Tap the START button to start logging the trajectory. 5. Walk along the trajectory and let the system operate on its own. You can see that the Site ID is automatically incremented as you walk. Note that using the PAUSE button, you can pause the position logging if you need to do so. 6. When you have reached the end of the trajectory, tap the DONE button. This closes the open log file, which now contains the positions of all the logged points along the trajectory, and takes you back to the last displayed navigation screen.

Staking Out
1. Press the LOG key and then enter the following parameters: Survey Mode: Stakeout. Antenna Height: From the reference point. Units: Antenna height unit (meters, US feet or Int feet). Height Type: Slant or Vertical. Time on site (sec): Time, in seconds, that must elapse, with the antenna not moving, before the rover stores the position of the point (default: 15 seconds). You decide the duration of the occupation (If it is greater than 1 second, the position solutions will be averaged over this period of time to improve accuracy. If it is 1 second, there is no position averaging but work proceeds more quickly). Enter coordinates manually check button: Do not check this button if the points you want to stake out are control points already stored in memory. Check it on if you want to enter the coordinates for a point to stake out. 2. Tap the OK button. Depending on how you set the Enter coordinates manually check button, the receiver now displays the list of control points, so you can select one (below left), or asks you to enter the coordinates of the point to stake out (below right). In the latter case, make sure the coordinate system used is the right one (MENU key> Setup> Coord Sys).

3. After you have selected a point from the list or entered coordinates manually, the ProMark3 RTK switches to the last selected navigation screen. 4. Follow the instructions on the screen to get closer to the stakeout point. When the distance to the point is only about one meter, the screen displays the following:
East Distance 0, 0

Target Point North Distance

E
5. Check the distances displayed at the top of the screen. Move the pole to zero these values (see diagram above left). Carefully plumb the pole for precise staking. The displayed distances should be interpreted as follows: East 0.233 M means you must move east to zero this value. North 0.367 M means you must move north to zero this value. 6. When these values are all zero, stop moving. You are on the point. 7. Set the stake. 8. You may want to take another reading to save the asstaked position. Obviously, this position should be the same as that of the stakeout point but later you can compare your field work with the target coordinates.

29

English

English 30

To save the as-staked position: Tap the OK button. This opens a new screen on which you can now see the Remain field count down. In the windows title bar is the name of the log file where the position is about to be saved. Note that a non-editable Site ID, different from the name of the target point, is automatically assigned to that position. GNSS Solutions will automatically make the correspondence between the target point and the saved position. When Remain=00:00:00, the STORE button appears at the bottom of the screen (see screen below right).

Tap the STORE button. This saves the point position and takes you back to the stakeout screen. 9. Tap Next to display the list of control points from which you can select a new target point. 10.Resume steps 4 through 7 until all the points have been staked out, then tap Done to end the stake out survey. This takes you back to the last displayed navigation screen. If you have also logged the positions where you placed your stakes, tapping Done also closes the log file containing the measured positions of all these points.

position and the other (the rover) on the point to be surveyed. There can be several rovers logging data at the same time. Approximate distance between the two units (baseline) must be known. Data must be collected simultaneously by the two units. Use the same logging interval on both units. Observation time is determined by last unit set up (start) and first unit turned off (end). We recommend that you start the base first and you turn it off last. Required observation time mainly depends on distance between the two units (+ reception conditions). Rover unit estimates observation time needed. When Obs. Range on screen is equal to or greater than the baseline, you can stop collecting data.

Initialization Methods
The initialization phase is required to ensure that your kinematic surveys, whether continuous or Stop & Go, will reach centimeter-level accuracies through post-processing. With the Known method, you can make a survey at a fairly long distance from the base.

Three possible methods, from fastest to slowest: Known: Initialization on Known point.
Initialization achieved in 15 seconds
Init point can be several kilometers away from the base.
Known Point

Running a Static Survey

Equipment Setup
The equipment setup instructions are the same for both the base and the rover. Install and run the base first. In both cases, the installation site should offer the best possible GPS reception conditions. The antenna should have a clear view of the sky in all directions. There should be no, or a minimum of satellite obstructions in the vicinity.
Typical setup with tripod is described here. You can also use a fixedheight tripod.

1. Set up the tripod / tribrach combination over the point. 2. Attach the vertical extension bar and a tribrach adapter to the GNSS antenna. 3. Place the GNSS antenna assembly on the tripod. 4. Place the ProMark3 receiver into the field bracket. 5. Attach the field bracket / ProMark3 combination onto the tripod. 6. Connect the GNSS antenna cable to the unit. 7. Measure and record the instrument height (HI) of the GNSS antenna.

English
Make sure the rover antenna will have the best possible view of the sky at all times during the survey. This should result in #Sats continuously greater than 4 and PDOP continuously less than 4. Obs. Range is equivalent to Obs. Timer in ProMark2.

8. Watch the following data on the rover unit: Obs. Range (Observation Range): Indicates the maximum length of the baseline that could be accurately determined through post-processing considering the amount of data currently collected. The more you collect data, the longer this baseline. Elapsed: Time elapsed since data collection began. # Sats: Number of received satellites. PDOP: Current PDOP value. 9. When according to the Obs. Range parameter on the rover, enough data has been collected in this observation session, tap the Done button at the bottom of the screen or press the ENTER key. 10.Follow the steps presented above for each observation session required to complete your survey. After data collection is complete, take all ProMark3 receivers used in the survey to the office and download the data to an office computer as described in Downloading Raw Data on page 62. The data is now ready for post-processing using GNSS Solutions.

Running a Stop & Go Survey

This chapter describes a typical Stop & Go survey in which initialization is performed using the initializer bar. (This is the initialization method recommended by Magellan.) It is assumed that you have already run all the instructions detailed in Chapter 2. Preparing For First-Time Use on page 4.

46

Base Setup and Operation

The base is setup and operated in the same way as it is in static surveys (see page 43). The only difference is the use of the initializer bar at the base station. The base antenna should be centered and levelled above the known point. To be able to use the initializer bar for initialization, be sure to incorporate the bar as part of the base setup as shown opposite.

Allowing for kinematic initialization using Initializer bar at the base

Rover Setup
Install the unit on its range pole: 1. Attach the field bracket onto the pole. 2. Place the ProMark3 receiver into the field bracket. 3. Connect the GNSS antenna cable to the unit. 4.

7. Mobile Mapping
This guide presents the Mobile Mapping function in its simplest implementation, i.e. using the ProMark3s internal antenna and with no differential mode enabled. With a ProMark3 RTK using an external antenna, Mobile Mapping can also be run in RTK mode, thus offering the same accuracy level as in surveying. Once you know how to perform RTK surveys with ProMark3 RTK (see RTK Setup on page 11), its easy to understand how you can extend the use of RTK to Mobile Mapping. However, the current position status (Float, Fixed, etc.) can only be seen on the Position screen (see page 70).

Preliminary Steps
It is assumed that you have already run all the instructions detailed in Chapter 2. Preparing For First-Time Use on page 4. 1. Turn on the receiver by pressing the red button. 2. Double-tap the Mobile Mapping icon. 3. Press the NAV key until you see the Satellite Status screen (see opposite) Wait until at least 4 satellites are received. For the best accuracy it is important to hold the receiver at an angle of 45 from horizontal and not too close to you.

Entering a job name Logging screen The Logging screen also displays the time elapsed since you started logging at this point feature, the number of satellites currently received and the current value of PDOP.

Logging New GPS/GIS Data

1. Creating a Job and Selecting a Feature Library - Press the LOG button. - Tap Create New Job. - Enter the job name and press ENTER - Tap the TUTORIAL.MMF feature library (or as required). - Tap the Real-Time job mode (or as required). 2. Logging and Describing a Point Feature - Highlight the Str Light feature (you are supposed to be near one of these features) and tap the on-screen Log button. This starts feature logging. A sound is heard every time ProMark3 logs data. The Logging screen is now displayed where you can see the list of attributes pertaining to this feature. You will now enter the Description phase of the feature - Tap the first attribute (Condition) and then tap the right attribute value describing the feature near you (for example Good). This takes you back to the Logging screen. - Select the next attribute in the list and repeat the previous step. Repeat this step until all the attributes have been properly described. Describing the feature only takes a few seconds. By the time you are done with the feature description, the features GPS position will probably have been saved in the job. You can also stay more time on the feature to let the receiver determine several positions. This will give an even more accurate position for the feature as ProMark3 will average all the GPS positions it has computed on the feature.

56

- To stop logging the feature, tap Done. This takes you back to the Feature List screen - Move to the next feature and resume the above instructions to log this feature. 3. Logging and Describing a Line Feature Basically, you use the same procedure as when you log a point feature (see 2. above). There are however two differences when you log a line feature: - You need to define a logging interval when you start logging the feature - And then you are supposed to move from the beginning to the end of the line feature before stopping the logging. These differences are explained below. After tapping the Road line feature from the Feature List screen and tapping the Log button, ProMark3 starts logging GPS positions from the position where you are. The default logging interval is 5 seconds. To change this interval: - Tap Options on the screen and highlight Logging Interval. Two options are then prompted: By Time: Select this option when you want to log a new GPS position at regular intervals of time regardless of the distance traveled since the last position logged. After tapping this option, tap the desired time interval. This takes you back to the Logging screen where you can see the list of attributes pertaining to the feature. By Distance: Select this option when you want to log a new GPS position only after you have moved by a certain distance since the last position logged. After tapping this option, tap the desired distance interval. This takes you back to the Logging screen where you can see the list of attributes pertaining to the feature.

Logging screen This screen displays the current values of perimeter and area measured since you started logging the feature (+ number of satellites and PDOP)

- As you would for a point feature, describe the feature by describing the different attributes pertaining to the feature. - When the description is finished, you can start walking along the road. - When you arrive at the end of the road, with ProMark3 still displaying the Logging screen, tap Done to stop logging the feature. 4. Logging and Describing an Area Feature Basically, you use the same procedure as when you log a line feature, especially regarding the need for defining a logging interval (see 3. above). The only difference between a line and area feature is that for an area feature, the first and last position calculated by the receiver are connected when you close the feature. Record the attributes of an area feature as you do for a line feature (see page 57): - Tap the name of the Park area feature from the list of features and tap the Log button. ProMark3 starts logging the area feature. - Choose a logging interval using the Options button (see explanations given for a line area on page 57). This takes you back to the Logging screen where the list of attributes for the feature is displayed - Describe each attribute by selecting or entering the appropriate attribute value for each of them.

Revisiting and Updating Existing GPS/GIS Jobs

You can use ProMark3 not only to position and describe new GIS features but also to update information gathered previously. This is particularly useful when collecting data on things that change over time: streetlight bulbs burn out, new roads are added to housing developments, new crops are planted, etc. 1. General Procedure Return to the area where the original job was recorded, turn ProMark3 on and double-tap the Mobile Mapping icon. When it has calculated a GPS position, follow the procedure below to update the job or to append more data to it. - Press the LOG button and tap Open Existing Job. - Tap the name of the job you want to revisit. - Unless this screen is already displayed, press NAV repeatedly until the Map screen is displayed. The Map screen provides a geographical view of the different features present in the job. From this screen, you will now indicate the first feature you want to revisit. If necessary, press the IN or OUT button to adjust the scale so you can see this feature. - On the Map screen, tap on the feature you want to revisit first. (The feature name appears in the lower part of the screen when the cursor is positioned over the feature.) - When the map cursor is positioned over the feature to be updated, press ENTER. A new screen is displayed showing the attribute values currently assigned to the feature. Note that the Goto field is highlighted at the bottom of the screen.

- Tap Goto to ask ProMark3 to guide you to this feature. By doing this, you will make the selected feature your destination and all the navigation screens will be set to help you reach that feature. The Map screen will also be automatically displayed showing a straight line connecting your current position to the selected feature. - Walk to the feature according to the navigation instructions provided on the Map screen. You can use other navigation screens if you prefer (see also Navigation Screens chapter from page 69). You will know when you are close to the feature when the distance to the feature goes to zero or close to zero, or simply because you can identify it visually. Another nice way of being informed that you have arrived at the feature is to set the Alarms option (see explanations in the ProMark3 Reference Manual) - After arriving at the feature, press the LOG key. This takes you to the Feature Attributes screen. - Now that you are near the feature and you can see which of its attributes need to be changed, tap successively each of these attributes and change them. - After reviewing the attributes, tap the Done field at the bottom of the screen. This ends the review of this feature and displays the Map screen again. - Follow the same steps described above to revisit and update the other features present in the job.

60

2. Repositioning a Point Feature If a point feature appears to be mislocated on the Map screen, do the following after you have arrived at the feature: - Press the LOG key and tap the on-screen Log button. Let the ProMark3 recompute the point position and then tap the Done button to close the feature. Note that only point features can be repositioned. If you wish to reposition a line or area feature, you should record a new feature and then delete the old one in MobileMapper Office. 3. Adding More Features and Attributes to the Job If you want to add more features and descriptions to the existing job, you just have to record them exactly as you record features into a new job. 4. Closing the Job To close a job, from the screen showing the list of attributes, tap Done then confirm by tapping Yes.

Working on Field Data Collected With Mobile Mapping

Downloading GIS Data
Follow the same procedure as when you download raw data files. See Downloading Raw Data on page 62. The only differences are: 1. On the ProMark3, run the Mobile Mapping application instead of the Surveying application before running the office software. On the PC, select Start>Programs>MobileMapper Office>MobileMapper Transfer from the Windows task bar. This runs the Download utility. 2. The files you need to download are those with the MMJ extension.

Exporting Data to a GIS

The most important processing of your field data is its export to a GIS. Exporting field data has two processes: conversion of the data files to a standard format a GIS can read and then the actual transfer of the file. 1. On your office computer, launch MobileMapper Office 2. From the menu bar, select File>Open 3. Select the folder where you downloaded your files. 4. Select the MMJ file you want to open and then click Open. MobileMapper Office now views the data collected in the field. 5. From the menu bar, select File>Export. 6. Select one of the formats displayed and you will see a Browse for Folder window that allows you to select the directory to which the reformatted file will be transferred. If you don't know where to put this file, just select a temporary location. 7. Click Export. Your job will be automatically formatted and transferred to the selected folder. You can select any folder that is accessible by your PC - including any GIS folders that may be on your network. When you start recording real data to export to a GIS, you will typically export data to a GIS database.

9. Navigation Tools
Whether you are performing survey or GIS jobs, you can always rely on ProMark3s integrated navigation screens to help you find your working area of the day or find more easily some particular locations you need to go to.

NAV Key
As shown in the diagram below, you simply have to press the NAV key repeatedly until the screen displays the navigation screen you would like to use as your favorite guidance tool. You can also use the ESC key to scroll through the navigation screens in reverse order.

Large Data screen: Displays 4 navigation parameters in digital form using big characters to be seen from farther. Position screen: Shows all of the basic position, time and satellite information. Additionally, current navigation information is shown in the bottom half of the screen. The Position screen shows the current position solution status. When using Mobile Mapping in RTK (ProMark3 RTK only), this screen is the only screen that shows whether the position solution is fixed or not (see screen opposite). Road screen: Presents your route as if you were traveling on a road. Feature/waypoint and destination icons will be displayed relative to your position as they come into view. Data screen: Displays a high density of information, namely six data fields plus an active compass. Speedometer screen: Displays your speed in a familiar graphical format. There are also four additional data fields plus a trip odometer. Satellite Status screen: The Satellite Status screen is included with the navigation screens. It indicates conditions of GPS reception: number of tracked satellites, their IDs and positions in the sky, strength of received signals + battery life indicator.

Turning Off Unused Screens

Because some of the available navigation screens may be useless in your application, you may want to turn them off. To do this, press MENU, highlight the Setup option, press ENTER, highlight the Nav Screens option and press ENTER again. You are then asked to turn off or on each of the available navigation screens. Choose Off and press ENTER for all these screens that you are not currently using. Note that the Map screen cannot be turned off.

Bluetooth Manager Toolbar Memo
Icon Function
Terminates the search sequence in progress. Launches a search sequence (Searching... is displayed in the status bar) to find all the Bluetooth devices present in the vicinity. New icons appear in the window as new devices are detected. Ready is displayed in the status bar at the end of the sequence. NOTE: is only active after has been tapped. Allows you to list the content of the parent folder. Valid when using the File Transfer service of a remote ProMark3 after you have opened a subfolder. Lists the shortcuts you created for the Bluetooth services found in the detected remote devices. Any shortcut can be deleted from the list. Is initially used to search all the remote Bluetooth devices present in the vicinity. Tapping this button after a search has been performed simply lists the Bluetooth devices that were detected during the last search sequence. Tap to refresh the list of detected Bluetooth devices.

Glossary
Base: A reference station operated in static mode. Baseline: A three-dimensional vector connecting the base to the rover. The baseline length is the vector modulus. DGPS: Differential GPS. A technique whereby data from a receiver at a known location is used to correct the data from a receiver at an unknown location. Differential corrections can be applied in real-time or by post-processing. Since most of the errors in GPS are common to users in a wide area, the DGPScorrected solution is significantly more accurate than a normal autonomous solution. Direct IP: (IP=Internet Protocol) A way of acquiring base data (corrections) from the Internet via GPRS. When setting Direct IP in a receiver, you must specify the IP address of the corrections provider. Fixed: Position solution status achieved by a receiver operating successfully in RTK mode. Position accuracy is in the order of one centimeter. Float: Intermediate position solution status obtained in a receiver attempting to operate in RTK mode. Position accuracy is also intermediate as it is only in the order of a few decimeters. GNSS: Global Navigation Satellite System. GPS, GLONASS and the future Galileo are each a GNSS. GPRS: General Packet Radio Service. A mobile data service available to cell phone users. GPRS data transfer is typically charged per megabyte of transferred data, while data communication via traditional circuit switching is billed per minute of connection time, independent of whether the user has actually transferred data or he has been in an idle state. GPS: Global Positioning System. Passive, satellite-based navigation system operated by the Department of Defense of the USA. Its primary mission is to provide passive global positioning/navigation for land-, sea-, and airbased operations.

GSM: Global System for Mobile communications. The most popular standard for mobile phones in the world. HRMS: Horizontal Root Mean Square. A statistical measure of the scatter of horizontal computed positions about a best fit position solution. It gives you a good indication of how well the unit performs. Initialization: A process used at power-on to help a GPS receiver more easily determine its own location. The solution is of the GPS standalone type (accuracy is a few meters). For an RTK rover, once GPS initialization is achieved, a process through which the receiver can solve integer ambiguity from which it can deliver a fixed solution with centimeter accuracy. NTRIP: Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol. A protocol used by GNSS service providers to deliver corrections from their networks of reference stations. When setting NTRIP in a receiver, you must specify the mount point (an IP address) of the NTRIP provider as well as your personal user profile. PDOP: Position Dilution of Precision. This number describes the geometry of the GPS constellation. The lower this number, the better the geometry of the constellation and the better the quality of the position solution. Rover: The mobile unit that you carry with you during your field operations. RTCM: Radio Technical Commission for Maritime services. RTCM standards are used internationally for Differential Global Navigation Satellite Systems and Electronic Chart Systems. RTK: Real Time Kinematic. An algorithm run in a receiver that allows its position to be determined in real time, with centimeter accuracy. UHF: Ultra High Frequency band. Magellan radio modems use this frequency band. VRMS: Vertical Root Mean Square. A statistical measure of the scatter of vertical computed positions about a best fit position solution. It gives you a good indication of how well the unit performs.
