Coordinate systems

[RyanWaslawski]

Sorry I’m a bit of a novice how do I add other coordinate systems to my options. The guy that set up our unit is no longer with our company and currently it just has Washington north and south but I need to add Oregon north. Thank you

Thank you seems pretty straight forward now

How do I add a "Local/Field/Design" coordinate system with no underlying coordinate system? I want to pre-load assumed coordinates from previous surveys (which are oriented to grid North) on "Page1" so I can stakeout or search for points after I have collected matching points on "Page0" and done a "Grid To Ground Localization" (usually just one point).

I have created a “Local/Field/Design” coordinate system but it could only be created with an underlying coordinate system (NC Grid, probably the problem). Currently after the "Grid To Ground Localization" the points on “Page1” are recalculated to something that looks like “Field-Grid” which puts me -1,000,000 feet away from points to be staked or found.

I can overcome this problem by re-importing the "Local/Field/Design" points to “Page1” and using the "Grid To Ground Localization" coordinate system on both "Page0" & "Page1". But this defeats the purpose of pre-loading search or stake-out points.

Sounds like you need to use Localize from the home screen. When you tap it it creates a coordinate system. Import points into the system it created then locate a couple of them in the field and pair them up from the localize button. The -1,000,000 tells me the coordinates are something like 5000, 5000 or 10,000, 10,000 which is exaclty what localize is used for.
