ProMark3

Get More Than Centimeter Accuracy

The leader in L1 GPS surveying introduces ProMark3.
ProMark3 extends the Magellan philosophy of offering an
easy-to-use turnkey system to the surveyor. All the required
hardware and software are included to perform accurate
static, stop & go and kinematic surveys as well as
GIS/mapping projects.

ProMark3 easily beats all the limits optical instruments have
in terms of portability and range, its ease of use and cost­effectiveness make it the must-have GNSS system for post­processed survey.

ProMark3 empowers surveyors to offer both survey and
GIS/mapping ser
investment in equipment and training. With this unique
combination of capabilities, ProMark3 lets users survey more
efficiency and productivity and offers customers valuable
GIS services.

Powerful Surveying

Find a Point and Survey It

The ProMark3 system performs powerful surveys, in static, stop
& go or kinematic modes. With centimeter-accurate control and
range far beyond that of an optical instrument, ProMark3 sets a
new standard for ease of use and performance.

Maximum Survey Flexibility

ProMark3’s USB port, Bluetooth®wireless technology, SD-card
and long-life rechargeable battery provide the latest in
expandability and functionality.

The user-interface can be localized into the language of your
choice2 and color background maps can be uploaded from
.SHP, .MIF, .DXF and .CSV files.

ProMark3 can also be used in conjunction with optical
instruments in cases where both are needed.

Locating and surveying hard-to-find points is a snap with the
navigation and data collection capabilities of ProMark3. After
navigating to a point using the unit’s base map, transitioning to
survey mode requires only a single keystroke.

Once set up over a point, the unit prompts the user for

Integrated Mapping Solution

Expand Your Service Offer with GIS

ProMark3 is also a mobile mapping system combining full GIS
data collection and navigation software. Backed by powerful
office software for easy data display, editing and export,
ProMark3 delivers affordable, sub-meter accurate GIS data.

With ProMark3, surveyors can now perform true GIS
projects and offer customers additional services such as
mapping and asset management.

Turnkey Mapping

Both the field and office software, included with ProMark3,
are specially designed for ease of use so that minimum data
collection and processing training is required. The brilliant,
full-color display brings maps to life in full sunlight, making it
easier to work with unfamiliar GIS data sets.

Accurate GIS Data Collection

ProMark3 delivers sub-meter real-time accuracy using SBAS
or RTCM corrections. Mapping functions include powerful yet
easy-to-use features such as:

MobileMapper Office Software

Connecting Field Assets with Geographic
Information Systems

MobileMapper Office links the ProMark3 receiver to your GIS.
Using this software, users can import GIS data into job files to
be updated in the field. It also provides convenient features
such as:

■

Quick and easy editing and exporting of data. Includes

support for .SHP, .MIF, .DXF and .CSV files

■

Uploading or creation of vector background maps for use in

the field

■

Raster image support

■

■

Point, line and area mapping

■

Area calculation for real-time area determination

■

Offset measurement for all feature types, including point,

line and area

Mapping Made Easy

The software also includes a Feature Library Editor that creates
lists of featur

Applications

Survey Applications

With the new Prism technology, ProMark3 allows centimeter­level static surveys to be performed faster than ever as the
occupation time can be reduced by up to 33%.

Stop & go surveys are simplified with ProMark3. The portability
and the user-friendly interface enable a one-man crew to
perform quick and reliable surveys.

ProMark3 eliminates line-of-sight a one-man survey
requirements and enables survey of larger areas. Survey firms
using the ProMark3 system will see their operational downtime
reduced and will save personnel costs.

GIS/Mapping Applications

ProMark3 lets users take any supported GIS file into the field.
Now surveyors can navigate to field infrastructure, map or
update the GIS data and easily transfer the file back to the
office GIS.

Traditional survey customers are using geographical information
more and more. To keep their GIS data live and accurate, cities,
utilities or civil engineering companies need a continuous data
update that surveyors can easily perform with ProMark3.

For kinematic data collection, ProMark3 records data at
different rates, allowing surveyors to match the recorded details
to the speed of the rover. With its 1 Hz recording rate, ProMark3
is an unparalleled productivity tool.
