In some ways, I suppose it depends on perspective. If you are attempting to determine a transformation from assumed>geodetic, it's probably a good ...

I like being able to set the scale factor, forcing it to the combined factor for a site, removing observational bias. By using the observed difference...

Is it possible to set the scale factor to the proper geodetic combined factor instead of 1?

Too far away from me to go back. Maybe we could have a go-fund-me account set up to send Jim back with a plumb bob and report back. 🙂

Also, can you say if you used validate at the end? Validate resets at the end of the observation for one last check on the initial fix. Even with Vali...

I agree with Adam. 120 epochs at 5Hz happens pretty quickly (as fast as 24 seconds). I would recommend at least 2 minutes in a questionable environmen...

For those that know, does your software allow for multiple points for vertical in a localization without tilting? Basically applying an average transl...

I would typically recommend NOT using a tilted plane localization. Depending on the software, it is possible to use multiple points for vertical that ...
