The Complete System
The Ashtech® ProMark2™ delivers high-quality
results at the lowest cost of any entry-level,
high-precision GPS survey system. In addition,
ProMark2 is the first and only system to deliver
a combination of post-processed, centimeter-
level static survey capabilities with stand-alone,
real-time, 3–5 meter reconnaissance, navigation
and mapping capabilities – all in a single
system! ProMark2 is a must-have addition to
any surveying toolkit and the perfect solution
for one-person survey crews.
Survey and Recon Made Easy
With ProMark2, surveyors get the flexibility of
selecting either survey or navigation mode. For
navigation applications, ProMark2 provides 3–5
meter real-time navigational accuracy, made
possible by new technology enabling the use
of correction signals from the Wide Area
Augmentation System (WAAS), and from the
European Geostationary Navigation Overlay
System (EGNOS).
The navigation mode assists surveyors in per-
forming two important tasks: job-site location,
and point reconnaissance. Simply enter the
coordinates and ProMark2 can navigate users
to within 3–5 meters of the project site or
known point. In addition to land navigation
screens, the built-in map database allows users
to see their position relative to highways, water-
ways, and railways, while displaying bearing,
heading, distance, speed, and more1. With the
addition of street level maps, users can even
navigate to addresses entered into the unit2.
In the survey mode using the new Ashtech
ProAntenna™ and Ashtech Solutions™ GPS post-
processing software (L1), the ProMark2 survey
system very accurately and productively estab-
lishes control on new or existing points. Unlike
traditional optical surveying equipment, GPS
requires no line-of-sight between survey
points. This significantly increases productivity
since traverse legs can be longer, and often
point to point. Surveyors can use ProMark2 in a
two-receiver configuration or, for added
productivity, expand the system to include
three or more receivers. ProMark2 can also
be used with traditional optical survey
instruments in cases where the use of GPS
alone is not feasible. ProMark2 is the ideal tool
for all control point needs!
