CAD Stakeout

Supports direct import of DWG and DXF files for point selection/polyline stakeout, layer management, block operation, search, distance measurement, area measurement and more.

Road Stakeout

NUWA supports intersection and element methods to edit the road alignments, station equations, vertical profiles, cross sections, super elevation, and widening.

Coordinate Systems and Transformations

NUWA supports coordinate system conversions of seven/three parameter, point correction (four parameter), height fitting and base shift.

Control Survey

Control Survey takes the guesswork out of control by automatically verifying each point before it is accepted.

Attributes and Coding

Existing measurement attribute information can be edited and imported. You can select the attributes of a point with one-click and save it to the database to provide additional references for downstream maps and drawings

Easy Control of Your Smart Receiver

NUWA allows easy adjustment of modes for speed, accuracy, or maximum reliability, to quickly adapt to different job conditions. NUWA also lets users manage satellite constellations, start static logging on the device, use voice prompts, and keep the device’s firmware up to date, all from one easy-to-use interface.

Real-Time Visual Mapping & Stakeout Tools

Online Map

Supports online maps like OSM and Google, as well as DXF files.

3D Visual Stakeout

The 3D visualized stakeout function of NUWA speed up the field work in two ways. With the excellent tilt compensation of Oscar GNSS receivers, the screen arrow will direct you to the point (without needing to orient to North first).

When approaching the selected point, you will see a graphic that indicates the position of the survey pole relative to the target.
