Description:
Collect Hard to Reach Assets Safely and Efficiently with Laser Tech and ArcGIS Field Maps When a GPS antenna alone isn't enough, use LaserGIS® (laser offset measurements) to remotely capture any feature's position in areas with difficult terrain or where GPS signal is blocked. Laser Tech's TruPulse® laser rangefinders integrate with your GIS field data collection tools to accurately position any target anywhere. Who Needs This Solution This laser offset mapping solution is for field crews that need to map hard-to-occupy assets without occupying every single point. This solution is common and ideal when assets are located on busy highways, streets, alleyways, under building eves, swamplands/vegetation, downtown areas, and in other hard-to-reach, unsafe, or GNSS-impaired environments. What is an Offset An offset is the combination of a distance and direction. Combining a recorded GPS position with the associated distance and direction to your object ensures high-accuracy positioning data. "LaserGIS" is our term for applying offsets to features by recording both a GNSS position and associated distance and direction to the object of interest using a TruPulse laser rangefinder. This workflow option allows the user to stay at one location and record the offsets and attributes of all features within sight before moving to the next location. For ArcGIS Field Maps users our LaserSoft Connect App (free/no subscription) in Google Play allows you to connect any GNSS recievers with our rangefinders. We also connect with Eos Tools Pro and Bad Elf's Flex apps.
