Land surveying using GNSS device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for surveying a path using a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) device, the method comprising:
- at the GNSS device;
receiving, by the GNSS device, a request to add a point on the path to a set of points;
determining a location of the point;
in response to determining a location of the point, determining if the point is a new point or a previously measured point from the set of points;
in response to determining that the point is a new point, adding the point to the set of points using the determined location of the point; and
in response to determining that the point is a previously measured point from the set of points, adding the point to the set of points using a location of a corresponding point from the set of points.

Abstract
Systems and methods for surveying using a GNSS device are provided. In one example method, a GNSS device may be used to determine the location of points along a path and to add those points to a set of points representing the path. When adding each point, the device may determine if the point represents a new point or a previously measured point. If the point is a new point, the device may add the point to the set of points. If the point is a previously measured point, the device may display one or more previously measured points to allow the user to select which previously measured point corresponds to the point currently being measured. The user may select a previously measured point and a point may be added to the set of points using the location of the selected previously measured point.

11. A computer-implemented method for surveying a path using a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) device, the method comprising:
-
measuring, by the GNSS device, a location associated with the GNSS device; determining if a trigger condition has occurred, wherein the trigger condition comprises a threshold length of time since a last point was recorded, a threshold distance traveled since the last point was recorded, and a threshold deviation from a projected path; and in response to the trigger condition occurring, recording the measured location as a point in a set of points. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus for surveying a path, the apparatus comprising:
-
a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver for receiving a plurality of satellite signals; and a processor configured to; receive a request to add a point on the path to a set of points; determine a location of the point using the GNSS receiver; in response to determining a location of the point, determine if the point is a new point or a previously measured point from the set of points; in response to determining that the point is a new point, add the point to the set of points using the determined location of the point; and in response to determining that the point is a previously measured point from the set of points, add the point to the set of points using a location of a corresponding point from the set of points. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
