Emlid Flow & Emlid Flow 360 Coordinate Systems
9

Hi Andrew,

Sorry for the delay!

All of my jobs are working in state plane (NAD83 and NAVD88 geoid 18). I was hoping I would get my base location on the same datum so I can easily glance at it and know it’s close.

You can find the Reach coordinates in the desired coordinate system and vertical datum and use them to set up the base. It works as follows:

  1. Create a new project in Emlid Flow.
  2. Collect a point.
  3. Pick the base coordinates from a survey project as described in this Support tips post.

I am also worried that the photos for the drone will be tagged at ellipsoid height so I will have useless data.

RTCM3 corrections work with geographic coordinates only. So, your base will send the LLH base position even if you set it in local coordinates in Emlid Flow. As Michael said, adjusting the results to the particular coordinate system and vertical datum is usually done in the processing software. It should be possible to use some GCPs for it.
