Hi David,
Do I get it right that you mean leaving only stakeout values on the screen? Without the map and the rover/base icons?

What I meant was leaving only the cut and fill values and some up and down arrows on the screen , For that elevation stake out we are not to interested where the point itself is so we donât need the northing and easting shown . thanks

Thank you
I saw trimble machine control gps on Dozers trying to rough finish roadwayâŚjajaja what a joke! They created a roller costerâŚgrades where all over the place, to high or to lowâŚa few miles long and working on it for days. It was on I-75 Bradenton, FL YR2019. If you want to do fine grading you need a grader with a controller receiver like a Robotic Total Station for control âwith 3D surfaceâ or something similar to control elevationâŚyou dont use the gps.

Not in my 15 years of machine control. Sounds like a crappy model. Probably contours instead of breaklines. Or a poor operator not using the model. Normally a motor grader would be used but I have seen dozers used in a pinch many times.
Iâll add that when we do runway work or use curb machines that requires +/-0.05ft we use laser-assisted âmm-gpsâ.

So maybe I wasnât thereâŚyou canât believe me. Its not about big brands, its about specs and what an equipment can do or not. I used a Trimble rover in that same job a new one by the wayâŚ$35k. I had to wait for a fix at times in the field, with open skys no obstructions and plenty of 3-4g coverage. Maybe this did not happen either, hard for you to believe.
Oh by the wayâŚthe 3D model was the same one used to finish the roadway project. Was never changed.
Yeah doesnât matter. The operator can still turn off automatics. I donât know what to tell you, but something wasnât right.

Running machines on NTRIP could cause issues too. Very susceptible to network latency no matter how good/fast your data connection is.
