Create a survey
The steps to create a survey are:
1. Create benchmarks (page 432).
2. Survey the field (page 433).
Create benchmarks
Before you can create a survey, you must set a point at a known location called a benchmark. When
you create a benchmark, the GPSreceiver obtains and records location information from the base
station for that specific point in your field.
When you are leveling, you use benchmarks to:
l Return to a point in the field with known coordinates to re-calibrate your exact position. This
may include setting the bucket on the ground or on a solid surface that will not be disturbed
while you perform field leveling.
l Move the design up or down to match the field surface at that point.
The first benchmark you create on a field is the master benchmark and displays as an orange flag
labeled MB . Field coordinates are calculated from this point.
Subsequent benchmarks display as orange flags labeled with their corresponding number .
