GNSS on AutoCAD

[BIGAL]

Working on civil projects it was a daily task to set out points in the field. We would download the points into the gps receiver, and follow the arrow to the actual point.

 

You may need a XYZ to lat long program, as the GPS will normally accept Latitude and Longitude values. You need a version of this conversion software that matches where you are in the world. I know with Google maps you can enter a lat long as a search point and it displays based on that point, AI hints can ask for directions. So if you make the correct point list even some fishing and hiking hand held gps may have ability to use a USB connection to upload points. They have arrows etc to show direction to travel in.

 

Using the idea of a constant display in Acad you still need software that exports out the GNSS data, get that and I think the rest can be done. Else I think we are all going around in circles.

 

Just a ps when you take a photo with your mobile phone it can store the lat long in the photo so you can insert the photo into your dwg at the correct location. Yes have code for that.
