FIELD
Topographic survey
Time saving is derived from 130% baseline productivity, not a separate test. Laser accuracy applies at 3 m and ≤30° tilt; actual field results vary.
Recommended setup
Combine V4e Pro GNSS positioning with Trion Survey for coded observations and CAD/GIS data delivery.
GNSS positioning
Compact GNSS positioning for control points and field surveys.
Before ordering: select the receiver, Survey App or controller kit; confirm correction service, network/SIM needs, pole and software/export costs.
Field software
Import CAD drawings, stake out points and record survey data.
Confirm controller compatibility, app licence, required import/export formats and whether the hardware bundle already includes the licence.
Workflow
Swipe to explore
Step 01
Create a project in FJD Trion Survey. Set the coordinate system, connect the V4e Pro, and configure GNSS positioning.
Keep observations in the correct project reference.
Quality checks: Project coordinate system, receiver connection and GNSS settings.
Deliverable: A configured project connected to V4e Pro.
Step 02
Move across the site to measure ground elevations, terrain changes, and key topographic features using GNSS positioning.
Capture the points needed to describe the ground.
Quality checks: Point identifiers, elevations, terrain changes and feature coverage.
Deliverable: GNSS observations of terrain and key site features.
Step 03
Use IMU tilt compensation and laser measurement to capture points that are difficult to access directly.
Extend survey coverage around access constraints.
Quality checks: IMU status, laser target and measurement quality.
Deliverable: Recorded points from locations that are difficult to access.
Step 04
Check collected coordinates and elevations in FJD Trion Survey. Organise survey points and verify data coverage before leaving the site.
Resolve coverage gaps before leaving the site.
Quality checks: Coordinates, elevations, point organisation and missing areas.
Deliverable: An organised and reviewed field dataset.
Step 05
Export survey data to CAD or mapping software for terrain modelling, contour generation, and topographic mapping.
Support terrain modelling, contour generation and topographic mapping.
Quality checks: Export format, units, coordinate reference and file readability.
Deliverable: Survey data ready for CAD or mapping software.
Deliverables
The professional workflow includes setup, corrections where needed, known-point and closing checks, and opening the final file. Report actual conditions and measured errors; do not infer accuracy from the status display.

Choose this workflow when the job calls for measured control, terrain points and site features. For continuous 3D surfaces or complex geometry, also consider georeferenced LiDAR.
Trion Survey lists formats including DXF, SHP, CSV-compatible ASCII and other survey formats. Confirm the exact export and coordinate system for your CAD or GIS package.
