Boundary Retracement Surveys with Stonex GNSS & Software
In this training, we will show how to use Stonex GNSS receivers and Cube-a field software to complete a boundary retracement survey for flagging, tagging, and staking property corners and boundaries.
Steps covered:
1. Drawing the plat in Cube-a using bearings and distances
2. Localizing to the plat data for simple jobs
3. Staking out the calculated points
There are a few different ways and workflows you can follow for example step 1, if you draw plats in the office, you can import the drawing and corners into Cube-a and avoid drawing the plat in Cube-a software. Instead of localizing your WGS84 coordinates to the Northing and Easting values of your calculated points, you can record the position of the first (2) corners found, and then rotate and shift all of your points to your (2) known points. This will rotate and shift your drawing points to the state plane coordinates you recorded.
This is a very high-level overview of using Stonex GNSS and Cube-a software to perform boundary retracement surveys for locating, flagging, and tagging corners. This tutorial assumes you have an understanding of the fundamentals, principles, and practices of land surveying, GNSS receivers, and will follow state specific guidelines. This tutorial is to show how you can use GNSS receivers and software to measure, map, and stakeout property corners using bearings, distances, and GNSS technology.
