Can you clarify. Once you located the starting pin, and save that point into your GPS unit (which model exactly?). How do you navigate to the next pint per the deed? If the next point is 200.45ft North 2.34 degrees. Do you program in 200.45ft N2.34 or do you need to do Lat and long calculations and program that into GPS unit? Or is there software on your phone tied to GPS you input the next leg to navigate to?
Neat!
Thanks @dave
Amazing! Good Job!
Simple and informative; good video Chris. Thanks!
Nice music 🎵
Thanks for the breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Thanks @noah!
so.... you guys mentioned some sort of "iOs Survey Wizard" app. You're not talking about the Flex app, so can you shed some more light on that app?
We are happy to provide more detail. Apglos Survey Wizard is an easy-to-use land surveying application for Android and iOS. We partnered with them last year to help provide a simplified field mapping solution for our users.
Awesome product.. I've been following BadElf development and quite amazed you've come up with another innovative product for Surveying professionals 🙏🏼🦺🇵🇬
nice. over view. I have two questions 1) what if you are working in a multi user environment a) how do you ensure that the project is safe? b) that people will not copy change or mess your project? c) How do you do permisions and track users
Pdf export for the win! 🎉
Will the Bad Elf Flex® Mini Standard GNSS Receiver work with iPhone property line apps like "ReGrid"

what programs do you all use to create your maps and photogrammetry processing ?
Hi @MosesGreen-6c ! Thanks for watching. Civil3D and ArcGIS Pro were used to digitize all of the original site and septic plans that were obtained from the county clerk of Medina County. Apglos Survey Wizard was used to collect the GPS data in the field for its ability to record observations natively in a local state plane coordinate system and export directly to a .dxf Pix4D was our choice of software for collecting and processing all of the drone data. Finally, civil 3D was used to create the final maps. This process included surface creation from the point cloud shot by the drone. We were also able to shoot topographic check points & Ground Control Points that we used to Geo reference and Q/C the surface created by the drone. Thanks again for your question. If you would like to have a more intimate conversation about mapping techniques and technology then please reach out to the Bad Elf Geospatial Enablement Team at get@bad-elf.com ! Have a great weekend. 🙌
Hi there! I am a GIS Analyst down in SA. So glad to have run across your content. Thanks for the good information! I’m working through making a custom base map for use on AGOL with my GPS equipment. I loathe Web Mercator.
Hi @Garnetdarnit ! Thanks for watching. Did you know that the Bad Elf Training office is actually located just north-west of you in Boerne, Texas? Be sure to catch up with ChrisTheBadElf and Dr.Nik from our Boerne office at the conference! A little bad elf told us that Chris will be hosting a presentation on Field Maps Tips and Tricks! Hope to see you there! 🙌 Check out the conference here: www.aagis.org
Nice tips
What a beautiful park
Sick loop!
Kinda sucks to have to go thru about 3 minutes of commercials to use the "training" video. I didn't realize that bad elf was this desperate for money.
Vedio quality guys Unable to see any thing on screen But anyways Good job
See you at UC!!!
No more web Mercator!!
Good info
I will always trust ground control points with a blind control over an rtk capable drone. Maybe I’m one fashioned.
Being an early adopter of this tech can help save you from headache after these rule changes kick in.
Is it easy to change the antenna within the app?
Easement hack??? Cool.
Hi, I have a custom Xamarin Forms Android app and would like to connect to the Bad Flex device to capture GPS cordinates. Is that possible? Maybe using mock location app?
BadElf flex mini is helpful and Portable where I can buy share the address Africa or Europe the store. is there office in netherlands
Thank you! You can buy from our store online or through amazon. Link to store: bad-elf.com/pages/buy
G.I.S.; Guaranteed Income Stream. Cool Video.
That's a useful tool. Clever workaround for the offsets.
Excellent demonstration using the Flex in Extreme mode. Impressive choice of environment to display the Flex's capabilities.
I love it, thanks for sharing!
Is it possible to export data this way on the flex mini? Looking for a way to download raw GPS data without connecting via Bluetooth
same Question..... Just got my Flex mini my pc can't even RECOGNIZE it.. and some how download via Bluetooth is much slower then my old Badelf GPS Pro plus
People have always had a hard time understanding NGS datasheets. I am glad they implemented the Beta Mark Page. Gamechanger.
nice and short!
More to come!
How do I know when to use WGS84, NAD83(2011) or NAD83 No Trans. I have a topcon base, rover setup but sometimes i just use the rover on the cors network.
@@littlenel17 With base/rover, it depends on what you're using as your reference point. If you use a "here" point, or the position your GPS thinks it is without being connected to a network or using a reference point, then you'll use WGS84. Otherwise you'll use NAD83(2011) for most applications, but it depends on what you're using for your base point. For the CORS network, it's almost always in NAD83(2011).

Chirst Thanks for you sharing knowledge and field surveying And the gudiline Should share or mention how to extract data to arcgis Whic is you mention the beggining of the video
Hello! Thanks for your kind words and sorry for any for oversight by Chris. Apglos supports saving collected data files directly to your mobile device in a variety of different formats. These can then be shared to your desktop for making maps like the one you see at the end of the video. Hope this clears things up and happy mapping!
