We have used Fast Survey for our data collection. Now I'm experimenting with using Surveying. I'm new at using GNSS software. I did a simple test data collection to experiment in with processing in GNSS software. The problem that I have is that when I try to import the data into my project I get the following error message: "Session 'bas1a13.160 does not contain e-file. Azimuths and Elevations of satellites will be replaced with zeros."</p><p>I'm not sure if I have made a mistake in setting up the GPS during the data collection, or if there is an issue with either the GPS or the GNSS software. Both are new setups for me.</p><p>Thanks for any assistance,</p><p>Jerry</p></div></div></div></div>stop & go DGPS survey for contouring and cadastal mappinghttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/hubs/Ashtech/forum/stop-go-dgps-survey-for-contouring-and-cadastal-mapping2012-11-30T04:59:47.000Z2012-11-30T04:59:47.000ZLokinder Ranahttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/LokinderRana<div><p><a target="_self" href="{{#staticFileLink}}1200655487,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}1200655487,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="Ashtech PM200 DGPS" width="200"/></a>i bought a new <strong>Ashtech DGPS PM200</strong> recently. when i go to collect some data in rare dense forest but i am unable to find the correct data. it may be some processing failure. if you can help please reply<br/> <br/> regards</p></div>z-max cell simm cardhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/hubs/Ashtech/forum/zmax-cell-simm-card2011-02-02T06:30:36.000Z2011-02-02T06:30:36.000ZMichael Alan Sanchezhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/MichaelAlanSanchez<div><p>I bought a sim card from a provider, but it doesnt seem to work on the Z-max.
