Depending on where your GNSS antenna is installed and thus, how good the reception is, the
self survey may be adequate for most applications.
Setting a Manual Position , however, i.e. manually applying your current geographic position
data (Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude) may be necessary if your GNSS receiver could not com-
plete its survey due to poor reception.
In some cases, setting the position manually may also help to reduce the amount of time needed
