Hello Elena!
Yes, a lot of the surveys here in Brazil are done using this method, that’s because of our land reform and the procedures that INCRA, our governamental authority about the land reform, request. As stated in this post.
Since a lot of surveys are done starting in or implanting a materialized geografical point, this feature is almost a standart request amongst our clients, literaly taken by granted.
It would be a very helpful option to have since our clients request it a lot.
