Data is Only as Good as Your Setup

Stable mounting, proper instrument positioning, and environmental considerations are critical. Even the best instruments require a solid setup to ensure reliable and repeatable results.

Choose the Right Level of Accuracy

Utility and GIS workflows don’t always require survey-grade precision. Mapping-grade GNSS is ideal for general asset collection, while survey-grade systems are needed for high-accuracy utility locating and as-built documentation.

Mobile Workflows Drive Efficiency

Field crews benefit from lightweight, mobile setups that combine GNSS receivers with tablets or smartphones. Streamlined data collection apps reduce time in the field and improve data consistency.

Accuracy Starts with Control

Establishing reliable control is the foundation of every survey. Whether using static GNSS, RTK, or conventional methods, consistent control ensures repeatable and defensible results across all phases of the project.

What equipment is used for utility mapping?

Utility mapping typically uses GNSS receivers, data collectors, and sometimes locators to capture accurate positions of underground and above-ground assets.

Do I need a data collector for GIS work?

Yes. Data collectors or field tablets are commonly used to capture, manage, and transfer GIS data efficiently between the field and office.

How does GNSS improve GIS workflows?

GNSS provides accurate positioning, allowing field crews to quickly collect reliable spatial data across large areas.

What is the role of locators in utility workflows?

Locators are used to detect underground utilities and can be paired with GNSS to map their positions more accurately.

Can Kara help build a complete GIS setup?

Yes. Kara can help configure GNSS systems, data collectors, locators, and accessories tailored to your workflow.
