Just aFYI... Set up the base. Set up the radio, but, dont give it much time, and try to start things. It gives you this notification. Often, it will eventually turn GREEN, simply cause RADIO was not available, when you pressed start. One thing you can do, is set up, and start the radio FIRST...

Right now, my top need is a firmware update. In the last 2 yrs, my LS has slowed down, quite a bit. Fresh firmware would help me alot. Nate

I do actually understand John Rosco's point.... Go through LOCALIZATION, (Pages allows this, without modifying the UNDERLYING coords), and AFTER localize, switch to a SPC page, and BOOM! you are done. I do this regularly. But, some of us just want to Jay walk, and skip localize, and do it...

I've got a job right now, that has a highway along one side of some 2000'. It's got curves, and it's got details. I sure with Javad could compute acreage, ALONG CURVES. I know, I can do it manually. I'm a Jay-walker. Use other software. Nate

John..... I KNOW that localization is in this software..... But it's a bit complex for some users..... and.... the SIMPLE ability to scale a group of coords, as we wish, is really not too much to ask. YES it represents a NON willingness to "Do it the Javad way". Kind of like walking down the...

I would LOVE to see the LS 2. Larger screen. Lighter weight. Fully functional IMU. That knows direction, without magnetic compass. Nate

COGO It's just a set of tools, to make coordinates, in the field, to determine what we are going to use for final coords. It's not a holy grail. It's a set of tools. Now, IF you want to make GOOD cogo, it SHOULD mimic pre existing COGO. Not re invent the wheel. It should be SIMPLE, and...

I want REVERSE LOCALIZE. Everything localize does, but in reverse. So that, I have a big job going, and some yahoo comes up in his truck, with a thumb drive, on whatever system. I can input these coords, with a LETTER added to the numbers, like K1 K2 K3 To avoid point conflicts. Now, I can...

Needed... Rotate, Translate, Scale. (With scale base) Those are BASIC cogo functions. Yes we can work around. Even, do it on another device. And, import them. BUT It's best to have them all in one, for field use. The dream goal, is to be able to COMPLETE a survey in one device. Nate

I have been asking for real useful cogo, for ... ever since I got it. I am afraid that if Javad does not wake up and smell the coffee... they are loosing first place. N

All other sounds are fine. Only J-Tip is silent. It's got me a little bumfuzzled! N

No more sound out of the LS. I have: Disconnected, and Re connected. Forget and re connect. When connected, and on the screen, the numbers change, as I move, or rotate the J-Tip, and the Blue light on the J-Tip is on. It for SURE is connected via bluetooth. But, NO SOUND. Any suggestions...

OK, Actual elev of the final rod and washer is 1309.421' Actual elev of the CPS is 1309.661' Prev Surveyor's HI is 5.392' Now, how do I change the HI, on a base, and update things? I entered a slant height of 6.37', and used that in the field. (Assumed that the elev was good). Thanks! N PS...

Story goes like this... I got a file from another surveyor. In SPC - Elevation given is 1315.053'. I found his base site. Due to erosion, I decided to LOWER his base site. So, I replaced his CPS with a "Rod and washer" And, lowered it 0.24', from his height. I measured to the CPS 6.37' Slant...

Fire the guy that tipped it over. .... Grin...
