1. A method comprising:
- at a GNSS device comprising an image sensor and a display;
adjusting a focus of the image sensor on a location of a level device mounted on a support for the GNSS device, wherein the level device has an appearance that indicates a two-dimensional tilt of the GNSS device with respect to a two-dimensional plane parallel to a ground, wherein focusing the image sensor is based on the location of the level device;
capturing a first image of a scene with the image sensor, the first image including an image of the level device;
displaying a portion of the first image that includes the image of the level device on the display;
displaying three-dimensional position information for the GNSS device and the portion of the first image together on the display; and
storing the portion of the first image.

Abstract
Documenting the two-dimensional tilt of a GNSS device includes focusing an image sensor on a location of a level having an appearance that indicates the two-dimensional tilt of the GNSS device. A first image of a scene is captured with the image sensor. The first image includes the level. A portion of the first image is displayed and includes the level on a display of the GNSS device. Position information for the GNSS device is also displayed on the display.

11. A GNSS device comprising:
-
an image sensor; a display configured to display images captured with the image sensor; memory containing instructions executable by a processor, the instructions including instructions for; adjusting a focus of the image sensor on a location of a level device mounted on a support for the GNSS device, wherein the level device has an appearance that indicates a two-dimensional tilt of the GNSS device with respect to a two-dimensional plane parallel to a ground, wherein focusing the image sensor is based on the location of the level device; capturing a first image of a scene with the image sensor, the first image including an image of the level device; displaying a portion of the first image that includes the image of the level device on a display of the GNSS device; displaying three-dimensional position information for the GNSS device on the display with the portion of the first image; storing the portion of the first image; and a processor configured to execute the instructions. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for:
-
adjusting a focus of an image sensor on a location of a level device mounted on a support for a GNSS device, wherein the level device has an appearance that indicates a two-dimensional tilt of the GNSS device with respect to a two-dimensional plane parallel to a ground, wherein focusing the image sensor is based on the location of the level device; capturing a first image of a scene with the image sensor, the first image including an image of the level device; displaying a portion of the first image that includes the image of the level device on a display of the GNSS device; displaying three-dimensional position information for the GNSS device on the display with the portion of the first image; and storing the portion of the first image.
