Increased Productivity
 | Are you interested in increasing your
productivity? Do you want to know the exact topography of a site before
you start your project? With achievable accuracy of + or - 1/8 of an inch?
Would you like the advantage of being able to calculate complete volumes
for that site in just one day? AGPSal Computer Systems provides
you with the first rapid surveying system of its kind. Maximize the
potential of a site by gathering complete and accurate topographical
information in just one day. In that one day, using
GCS: Topo©,
you can survey up to two hundred acres and collect as many as 20,000
points. |
 | GCS: Topo©
functions as a fully automated and/or
manual data collector. Enabling you to automatically capture points while
driving across a site, or option of entering them in manually using any
combination of instruments the operator chooses. |
 | Auto-Capture mode collects data as you
travel over a site, automatically collecting the coordinate position. The
operator can collect data from features that have like descriptions very
quickly by setting the point label and then driving. For example, north
field, east field and tree line. |
 | Manual capture mode allows you to name
each point individually. This is used when surveying features with
different names and where you to note large amounts of detail about the
feature. for example, 12-inch diameter birch tree. |
 | Only one man is needed to set up and run
the survey equipment. Equipped with an easy to use program and an ATV
loaded with all the tools that are needed is a convenient way to complete
a job. Optimize you time an costs by dramatically reducing the labor
needed. |
 | Setup is made easy with our program
guiding you step by step with a series of menus. Repeat setups can be
eliminated because the program can utilize a wide variety of surveying
equipment. Use one tool or a combination because the program can interface
with a number of instruments. |
 | Accurately survey acres of ground in a
fraction of the time required by conventional methods. |

Real Time Data Display
 | Continuous visual representation of all
collected data and you current position in a real-time graphical display. |
 | On screen text data allow the operator to
make sure switches an parameters are set correctly. This includes the
current vector speed, rod length, point label, current coordinate position
and auto-capture settings. |
 | View collected information,
cross-sections, plan vies and staking points in the field to increase
speed and resolution for topo and staking operations. Check perimeters,
structure outlines, centerlines, point location, density, and all other
site features that are on-screen. |
 | Background drawings shown on screen can
show proposed and existing buildings and structures for advanced
orientation. |
Error-Free Setup
Advanced Data Collection and Site Analysis
 | User friendly interface is easy to learn
and operate. Most times your hands are off the keyboard. |
 | Easily survey features such as steep
slopes, cliffs and non-traversable surfaces with specialized equipment
such as a Criterion 300™. |
 | Record large amounts of detail with easily
changeable point labels. |
 | Important features can be easily located. |
 | Versatile programming allows fast, easy
changes and calculations to be made at any time. |
 | GCS: Topo©
can utilize existing laser
equipment and low to high accuracy GPS equipment. |
 | System can run using 100% GPS with no
laser required. RTK GPS plus advanced hardware and software allow you to
work on your own schedule in light rain, snow, high wind, or fog. |
 | Using GPS with a laser or ETS can give you
accuracy up to + or - 1/8". Higher accuracy in a fraction of the time it
takes using any other method. |
 | Automatic error detection saves time and
effort. |

Data Management
 | Data collected or data to provide finish
contours and/or as-built drawing can be uploaded from, or downloaded to,
most construction software such as Surfer™, Eagle Point™, Microstation
Siteworks™, Agteck™, Paydirt™, Arose™ and ASD™. These commercial programs
plus many time saving utilities allow you to process and edit data on the
site or in the office. |
 | Easy in office data management maximizes
field performance. |
 | Find bad point by flagging those that are
higher than a user setable slope such as all points with slope greater
than 2:1. |
 | Filter out all points that have been
collected at too high of a speed. |
 | In the field of in the office you have
several options to "playback" your work. |
 | Use the data to calculate accurate
earthwork volumes on a daily basis. |

Underwater Topography
 | Use GCS: Topo©
to perform accurate underwater
surveys. |
 | Depth is measured with your sonar or
underwater laser while
the position of the boat is simultaneously recorded
by a
Tracking ETS or GPS. |
 | This highly accurate survey is not
degraded by the up and
down movement of the boat. |
 | Excavation and backfill below water
surfaces can be checked
to eliminate guessing. |
 | The remaining capacity of settling ponds
van be accurately
measured. |
 | Rivers with strong currents and harbors
with heavy traffic can
be mapped with ease, showing the emergence of new
sand
bars and obstructions as well as the depth of channels. |
 | Shoreline surveys can show changing sand
patterns and
whether breakwaters are suffering damage. |
