How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.
We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.

I have the manuals for the onboard TDS software. I know this thread is getting long in the tooth, so you may have rounded them up by now. Let me know if you still need them.
Here is a manual for the Topcon GTS-710 and i'll have to look for the other one
Perhaps this Quick Start Guide for Survey Pro will help... let us know
Hi, Survenator; thanks for taking the time to share those two manuals. I did already have the Topcon GTS-710 Series Instruction Manual PDF from the Topcon Japan website (https://positioning.topcon.co.jp/en/document/manual/). It's a useful manual, but it makes no mention of the built-in TDS Survey Pro. The other document you shared is a quick start guide for GPS features in some version of Survey Pro, but the version that's built in to the GTS-710 total station knows nothing about GPS. :-) So, I'm still hoping to find something like the User's Manuals and Reference Manuals that TDS produced for other versions of Survey Pro.
