can fieldgenius display the azimuth in seconds?

6 decimal places for distance units and 10 for angular precision depending on limits of device of course.
Download the free fully functional WINDOWS 30 point limit demo. Can connect your Emlid receivers to it or other brands or use demo GNSS / total station modes. Android doesnt support Disto or robotic total stations YETā¦ but have a funny feeling NEVER will either.

Moasure 2
Now only if Emlid would couple something like this (its internal IMU) with GNSS or other methods to reduce or eliminate accumulated DRIFT (biggest drawback) for bullet proof accuracy? Moasure has a huge market with all kinds of contractors.

Thanks for the answers. Much to think about. I cannot afford a total station yet and was wondering if I could use Disto x4 as a workaround seeing as what I am measuring is very simple, just one or two points inside a building.
Donāt forget you could always use a theodolite and do some math.

The Disto S910 and X4 are very similar, but X4 newer. There are apps (free and purchase) for both of them that may do you just fine. Search the Leica website for them.
The main difference is the Disto S910 is the ONLY one that will work with Microsurvey FieldGenius if you think you need the MOST full functionality. The X4 and itās apps may serve you just fine. The X4 may also work with newer apps that specialize in certain areas. i.e. countertops etc.

Thanks for this!

also, the S910 itself has BUILT-IN encoders (vertical and horizontal) so can be used WITHOUT the stand if need be as standalone. The stand is better for steady measurements and longer distance shots.
The X4, X6 and others will REQUIRE the stand as the stand has the encoders in it.
GOOD LUCK!!!
You can combinate GPS with the moasure ONE to measure inside of a Builing.
at moasure you get a CAD File.
use Google ( Moasure One)

I work with it.
you can set a Passpoint outside, and connect it to a Measurenet inside.

Hi everyone,
Thank you for sharing your experiences! It was great to read about your different approaches.
@AdamHz, using the Reach GNSS receiver indoors can be tricky since it relies on satellite signals. A clear view of the sky is vital to get accurate readings. Even with an external antenna and a repeater system, the rover still needs some line of sight to the sky.
For indoor measurements, total stations are usually a better bet since they donāt depend on satellites and offer high accuracy. While I havenāt tried other systems myself, I hope the input from other users will be of help to you. Laser distance meters like the Leica Disto series also seem worth considering.
Oh, and the Moasure looks pretty cool too. Itās neat that it can generate CAD files and handle indoor measurements.

Iām wondering if Emlid and MOASURE need to get together with some kind of software interface.
Iāve got a MOASURE and itās a good tool to locate houses and structures for preliminary planning. Itās no where near as accurate as GNSS or a total stations. The only drawback is you only have a specific time between point locations (<20 sec) due to its IMU.
Usually when I use my MOASURE, I start locating from two of our GNSS/traverse points and proceed to locate what I need, once finished I remeasure my initial points.
MOASURE doesnāt have any type of coordinate systems such as NAD83. It usually starts at 0,0. When I export to a dxf file, Iām already tied to our survey project.
Even if I donāt tie into our traverse, I usually locate a couple points seen in our flown imagery and can rotate/translate to our project system.
Iāve tested the MOASURE against known distances and usually itās off +/- 10%. However as said above itās a good tool for needed rough measurements and for construction preliminary location. Thereās a new MOASURE 2 thatās supposedly more accurate using an improved IMU.

I didnĀ“t know this device, it looks awesome.

Depending on how far āwithout skyā one is measuring, GNSS units that are supplemented with photogrammetric cameras and/or LiDAR are another option.
The dual camera style (ie. one for stakeout and one used to pick points on the screen after 5 or so pictures taken) would be amazing on something, say, like an RS4 *wink, wink, nudge, nudge at Emlid *

Hi @Jaccen,
I just stumbled back into this thread, and Iāve got to say, thatās an interesting idea! The dual-camera setup you described for the RS4 sounds like a game-changer. Iāve passed your idea along to the team, and weāll keep it in mind. Thanks for the suggestion!
