Can I use ProTRACK for precision agriculture?
ProTRACK is also ideal for precision agriculture. It can be mounted on agricultural vehicles to perform land surveys, create prescription maps, and improve crop yield.
What is an affordable and professional GNSS GPS for technicians and surveyors?
ProTRACK is one of the best solutions on the market for value for money. With an affordable price, it offers advanced features typical of high-end GNSS receivers, making it ideal for surveyors, technicians, and freelancers.
Can I perform a "tipo mappale" (land registry updates) with the GPS?
Yes, you can. To draft a "tipo mappale", it is important to use a high-precision GPS, such as those based on RTK technology. This is because the Land Registry requires points to be located with a very low error, on the order of a few centimeters. If your instrument allows it and you follow the proper procedures, you can absolutely use the GPS to perform a "tipo mappale". Today it is one of the most widely used solutions by technicians.
Is an internet connection strictly required to perform a cadastral survey with GPS?
No, it is not strictly required. If you use a GPS like ProTRACK, you can also work without an internet connection, thanks to the Base + Rover mode. This means you can easily survey in isolated locations, such as countryside or mountain areas. If, on the other hand, you have a good connection, you can use the GNSS network to receive real-time corrections. In both cases, the result will be precise.
Is it legal to use GPS for cadastral surveys?
Yes, it is perfectly legal. The important thing is to use suitable equipment, meaning a GPS that guarantees centimeter-level accuracy. Additionally, you must comply with the technical guidelines provided by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate). If you meet these conditions, you can confidently use GPS to carry out cadastral surveys like land subdivisions, "tipi mappali", and boundary relocations.
How long does it take to complete a survey with GPS?
It depends on the task, but generally, it takes very little time. If you use a straightforward system like ProTRACK, it only takes a few minutes to turn it on, configure it, and start working. For a small cadastral survey, it often takes less than half a day, including data processing. This is one of the reasons why more and more technicians choose GPS for cadastral surveys. Performing a cadastral survey with GPS today is much easier than in the past. With an instrument like ProTRACK, you don't need complex networks or internet connections: just turn on the device and start. Whether you need to do a "tipo mappale", a subdivision, or a boundary relocation, you just need a suitable GPS instrument for cadastral surveys and you are immediately operational.
How can I stake out a point imported from a file directly in the field with Analist Mobile?
To stake out an imported point, simply select it within the project: a summary screen will open showing coordinates and available actions. Tap the Tools button and choose Stake Out to start navigating toward the point. The App will display the distance and direction to follow and, as you approach, it will emit an acoustic signal that changes pitch when you reach the position (approx. 5 cm from the point).
Is insurance coverage provided for the ProTRACK GPS?
Yes. The Extra Care formula is available at a cost of €89.00 + VAT/year: enrollment is optional and can be renewed. The formula includes one free repair or replacement service for the instrument in case of accidental drops of the rover device.
