Start Surveying in a Fraction of Seconds

Simplified project and coordinated system management

When creating a project, LandStar™ 8 makes it easy to copy coordinate settings, control, and stake out points from another handheld controller just by scanning a QR code [QR code functionality]. Projects can be conveniently edited and sorted by history and properties, making them easy to navigate. Custom coordinate systems, geoid models, and codification libraries can be dynamically updated via localization packages. LandStar™ 8 also features a site calibration wizard specially designed to be uncomplicated for non-expert users.

Advanced Display of Base Maps

CAD base map rendering in seconds

LandStar™ 8's proprietary MetaCAD™ graphics engine opens DWG and DXF base maps faster, with smoother rendering and an improved user experience. DXF files up to 200 MB can be opened on CHCNAV handheld controllers in less than 10 seconds. Smart base map functions include "Quick Code" for one-click feature coding to automatically create line features to increase project productivity. LandStar™ 8 supports the opening of external reference files, automatically recognizes CAD length units, and allows editing of CAD base maps directly in the field.
