Rotate to Deed Bearing

I would like to be able to rotate my survey points to a deed or plat bearing in the field and still retain the original gnss data for those points. Is this a possibility?

If you know the rotation angle you can click the checkbox and put a rotation in. Check it with inverse after saving your localization. If it's wrong you can change it and save the localization again.

Watch my video on single point localization on YouTube. It won't cover the rotation aspect but you will basically be doing a single point localization and adding a user defined rotation to it.

Mr Green,
This is WHY pages exist.
1.) The core coords in the LS are lat Lon
2.) Page 0 can be SPC
3.) Page 1 can be whatever you want.
4.) Page 2 can be lat Lon.
Etc. It's powerful, versatile, and you had better pay attention to what your base reference frame is. And what page you are on. Once learned... Ahhh it's good!

Michael wasn't getting the correct plat bearing when he was trying this. I helped him and it was because he was using wgs instead of his state plane system as the surveyed system in localization. It was throwing the convergence angle in there on him. We changed the surveyed system to state plane and it worked fine. It would have worked with the wgs system if the convergence angle was taken into account in his calculation of the rotation angle.
