Measure - Hidden Points

Overview
This feature is available in GS mode. It allows measuring points that cannot be
directly accessed with the GS. For instance, if a point physically cannot be
reached or because no satellites can be tracked in the point to be measured
due to obstructions.
A hidden point can be calculated by measuring distances and/or azimuths
•
to the hidden point using a hidden point measurement device. Or for dis-
tances a tape can be used.
• Extra auxiliary points can be manually measured.
Bearings can be computed from previously measured points.
•
In contrast to the COGO app, hidden point measurements are more of a meas-
uring app than a calculation app.

Description
The horizontal distance to the remote point
is equal to the horizontal distance of the
base point. The value is the maximum toler-
ated length of the chord between the base
point and the remote point.

telecommunication company.
The telegraph poles must be surveyed to
0.3 m accuracy in plan but height is not of
concern.
