I have used trimble access in the past and more recently have watched videos on Carslon GNSS averaging. This is the way point averaging with GNSS should be. Its slick and I have been hoping for a long time that we would come out with something similar. I want to be able to look at the proposed average and see the residuals of each individual point and manually turn off the horizontal or vertical component for each individual point. Although cluster averaging is useful, the only way I know how to cluster average is by setting a predetemined tolerance. Lets say I have mine set to 0.12'. I get 4 shots and 3 are within 0.05' and the 4th is at 0.115. I would like to deselect the 4th shot being somewhat of an outlier from the average solution but if I select cluster average it will put that point with the largest error in there and possibly add some slop into my final positon.
Furthermore, I hope to see us have the ability to shoot the same point again and again with the same number. Other softwares allow it. The 4000.1, 4000.2, 4000.3 gets old quick. If I had never used trimble access I wouldnt know any better and its hard to step backwards when you have seen a better workflow.
Does anyone have a different workflow for averaging that Im unaware of that works better?
