HELP NEEDED: Looking for some referencing/display help for GPS stakeout w/ Trimble TSC7 data collectors...

g · 2020-12-09T14:44:00Z

My company is in the process of making the switch from Topcon survey equipment to Trimble survey equipment. We have seen some huge gains in efficiency and trustworthiness of the gear but one issue keeps popping up with my GPS stakeout crews. With Topcon, you have a few options for setting a reference for GPS stakeout...North/South, walking direction, azimuth, etc...but the one almost all of my crews use is a single point reference. It makes it like traditional conventional stakeout in that you can simply reference your base or any singular point as a visual reference to get your corrections...in/out, left/right. We are using TSC7's now w/ Trimble Access and it appears this is not an option...it's everything but. As trivial as this sounds, it is giving my crews serious fits and is dramatically hurting their production, but even more importantly to me, their moral. They are not able to stake as much as they are used to and being the people they are, it's killing them mentally. Realize some of these users have been using a single point reference for 15-20 years now for GPS stakeout. I am looking for some insight on the best way others are navigating and fine tuning to stakeout points w/ Access in TSC7s. Unfortunately, since I am not part of field production anymore, I do not have the gear in hand to go out and play around and see what I can come up with. We tried doing azimuth referencing using 2 points on long control line to create an azimuth reference across the site, but that hasn't been enough. Anyone willing to share their stakeout reference settings and also the display settings they are using for stakeout? Any info, tips, or tricks would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you for your time in advance!

@crid54 The TSC3 has a compass built in.?ÿ You can turn on this feature when staking.
