In JFIELD, you can also turn on the camera and measure angles.
The CoGo Direct function can be used to calculate and store an offset point by using the internal compass and camera to determine an offset bearing.
Then determine the offset distance to the desired object with a tape measure or laser distance meter.
The accuracy of 'this offset method' is limited by the accuracy of the compass (typically +/- 2 degrees).
To determine a much more accurate position from offsets, use the CoGo Resection function.
