Center your targeted area and add a pushpin to each corner and the center of the image. Make the icon for the point a dot instead of the pin as your adding the markers by clicking the pin icon next to the name blank and choose the square or circle icon and set the scale to .5. Doing so will make the icons less obtrusive in the resulting image. Copy each point's coordinate on a scratch pad then go to File &gt; Save &gt; Save Image. Save the image and close Google Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open Topcon Tools, create a new job and edit the job configuration. In Coordinate Systems set the Projection to your UTM zone and set the Coordinate type to grid. Set the units to Meters. Click View &gt; CAD and start adding the points. Once all the points are added change the projection to your state plane zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to View &gt; Background images and click Add image. Navigate to and add the image from Google Earth. Zoom in to the first point and click Add point. Set the spatial point to the job point's name and hit OK. Repeat for the rest of the points. Once all points are added, hit calculate. Hit Finish, name and save the resulting .jpw file. Transfer both the .jpg and .jpw file to your data collector and add it to your job as an image.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Video coming soon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5168119397036747993-4052289599914033770?l=hayeshelptechtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hayeshelptechtips.blogspot.com/feeds/4052289599914033770/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5168119397036747993&amp;postID=4052289599914033770' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5168119397036747993/posts/default/4052289599914033770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5168119397036747993/posts/default/4052289599914033770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hayeshelptechtips.blogspot.com/2008/05/google-earth-topcon-tools-background.html' title='Google Earth + Topcon Tools = Background Imagery'/><author><name>Hayeshelp.com</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07689170152843584157</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168119397036747993.post-4272451167831870333</id><published>2008-05-06T15:21:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2008-05-06T15:30:32.287-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quote of the Day'/><title type='text'>Quote of the Day - GPT-3100W</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.topconpositioning.com/uploads/tx_tttopconproducts/GTp-3100w_head.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 434px; height: 101px;" src="http://www.topconpositioning.com/uploads/tx_tttopconproducts/GTp-3100w_head.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Topcon was the first to bring a completely wireless total station to the surveying industry. Now, with the GPT-3100W series reflectorless total stations, Topcon gives you the convenience of wireless technology on the total stations with the longest reflectorless range in their class. The GPT-3100W series provides the highest measuring precision available due to its dual-optical design, so you get incredible results every time, in all situations. &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="pcText"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 204);"&gt;GPT-3100W Series Features:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul class="pcList"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dual-Optical Design&lt;/b&gt;—Reflectorless measuring requires a finely focused beam for pinpoint accuracy. Prisms need a wider pattern to prevent off-center measuring degradation. Topcon’s dual-optical system gives you both for the maximum measuring accuracy all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Precise Pulse-Laser Reflectorless&lt;/b&gt;—Topcon’s pulse-laser “ time-of-flight” system eliminates measuring errors caused by the overlapping signals used in phase measuring systems. Accurately measuring corners or through objects such as a chainlink fence is always fast and reliable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Longest Reflectorless Range&lt;/b&gt;—Up to 350m, the longest reflectorless range in its class! Measures up to 3000m with a prism. The dualoptical design allows you the extended range using a class 1 laser— safe for all conditions—making it ideal for use in high-traffic and other heavily populated areas.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p class="pcText"&gt;Topcon’s GPT-3100W uses a dual laser optics system, one narrow beam for non-prism functions, and a broader beam when using a prism. This stabilizes the beam over long distances providing accurate measurement, even in adverse atmospheric conditions such as heat shimmer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://aboutasher.com/tinc?key=qIhYvbrJ&amp;amp;formname=Quoteoftheday" onclick="window.open('http://aboutasher.com/tinc?key=qIhYvbrJ&amp;formname=Quoteoftheday', 'signup', 'menubar=no, location=no, toolbar=no, scrollbars=no, height=450, width=550'); return false;"&gt;Get a Quote here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5168119397036747993-4272451167831870333?l=hayeshelptechtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hayeshelptechtips.blogspot.com/feeds/4272451167831870333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5168119397036747993&amp;postID=4272451167831870333' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5168119397036747993/posts/default/4272451167831870333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5168119397036747993/posts/default/4272451167831870333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hayeshelptechtips.blogspot.com/2008/05/quote-of-day-gpt-3100w.html' title='Quote of the Day - GPT-3100W'/><author><name>Chase</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10081079518513210158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_Lrkk7sV7VMw/R_abgwhKoeI/AAAAAAAAACw/x_AmzbUiU4E/S220/ChaseonUni.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168119397036747993.post-9000862122753151714</id><published>2008-05-06T12:43:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-05-29T14:48:33.071-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tech-Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tech-Tips May'/><title type='text'>See the IS, Imaging Station at MAPS</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Summer MAPS Convention &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(Mississippi Association of Professional Surveyors)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;When:&lt;/span&gt; August 1, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Where: &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Oxford Convention Center &lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;geocode=&amp;amp;q=convention+center&amp;amp;near=oxford,+ms&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;ll=35.016501,-89.373779&amp;amp;spn=1.90296,4.235229&amp;amp;z=9&amp;amp;iwloc=A"&gt;(click here for map)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Speaker:&lt;/span&gt; Joel Frost&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Topic:&lt;/span&gt; IS, Imaging Station&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Time:&lt;/span&gt; 1:30 PM (approx.)&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p id="qle:25" class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span id="qle:26"  style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Topcon Positioning Systems and Hayes Instrument Company will be discussing the latest in imaging and scanning technology.

However a step that often confounds users is the loading of the drivers. Before you even connect the GPS receiver, download the driver zip file from &lt;a id="njcb3" href="http://www.hayeshelp.com/downloads"&gt;www.hayeshelp.com/downloads&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p id="njcb6" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Extract the file to an easy to find spot on your computer. Next connect the receiver to the computer using the USB cable and turn the unit on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In most cases a Windows notification bubble will pop up indicating a new device was discovered. The Add New Hardware Wizard should pop up. For the first receiver you install, select “Install from a specific device or location” and click next. Check the box for “Include this location in the search:” Then click browse. Find the folder where the files were extracted to and click ok. Then click next. Shortly a Windows message will pop up warning you that the driver is not signed. Click “continue anyway”. Once the drivers finish installing then click finish. For any other receivers you can now click install automatically to install the drivers. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p id="njcb8" class="MsoNormal"&gt;To test your connection, run PC-CDU and see if USB shows in the Com port pull down.&lt;/p&gt;Go forth and prosper.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5168119397036747993-1724388569171872111?l=hayeshelptechtips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hayeshelptechtips.blogspot.com/feeds/1724388569171872111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5168119397036747993&amp;postID=1724388569171872111' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5168119397036747993/posts/default/1724388569171872111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5168119397036747993/posts/default/1724388569171872111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hayeshelptechtips.blogspot.com/2008/05/installing-usb-drivers-for-topcon-gps.html' title='Installing USB Drivers for Topcon GPS...'/><author><name>Chase</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10081079518513210158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_Lrkk7sV7VMw/R_abgwhKoeI/AAAAAAAAACw/x_AmzbUiU4E/S220/ChaseonUni.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168119397036747993.post-129982839610512270</id><published>2008-04-25T11:45:00.014-05:00</published><updated>2008-05-29T14:51:32.957-05:00</updated><title type='text'>HayesHelp Tech-Tips</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://hayeshelp.com/techtips/TechTipsAdIMage.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://hayeshelp.com/techtips/TechTipsAdIMage.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HayesHelp.com Tech-Tips is an e-newsletter designed to give you the latest updates on Survey-tech news.

Systems&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/typohead&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;Cinderella Option automatically turns your receiver into a dual frequency GPS+GLONASS for 24 hours every other Tuesday starting at GPS midnight.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;The Cinderella Option automatically allows your receiver to receive all available satellite signals for 24 hours every other Tuesday starting at GPS midnight. Any Euro 80 board based receiver will turn into a dual frequency GPS receiver and any Euro 112/160 based receiver will turn into a dual frequency GPS+GLONASS receiver.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;Cinderella Option also enables you to participate in the Pay-Per-Use (PPU) program. With PPU program you can buy the minimum system (for example GPS L1) and then pay for other features and options (for example, RTK with GPS+GLONASS L1+L2) as you use them. The usage of features during the Cinderella days is not counted as PPU time and are free as part of the Cinderella Option.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;At any time you can buy the features that you have rented and credit the remaining PPU time towards the purchase of the features.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;With Cinderella Option (that includes                PU/PPU program) you get the following benefits: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li class="standard"&gt;You minimize the initial investment and will&lt;br /&gt;               have the most sophisticated hardware and software ready when you&lt;br /&gt;               need them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="standard"&gt;You can test the features like L1+L2 and GPS+GLONASS&lt;br /&gt;               in your actual jobs and then buy them when you are convinced that&lt;br /&gt;               they are more cost effective than L1-only and they provide much&lt;br /&gt;               better results faster.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="standard"&gt;You never have to worry about the need for&lt;br /&gt;               another equipment whatever your survey jobs will end up to be.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;The purchase price of any feature is the difference between the price of that feature and what you have already purchased. For example if you have already purchased a GPS L1 Legacy and LegAnt for $4,750 and you need to upgrade them to GPS L1+L2 that costs $9,500, you pay the price difference of $4,750. The same price difference will be the basis for PPU calculation if you decide to rent the L2 feature rather than buying it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;The daily cost of PPU is 1/120                of the purchase price of the feature.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;The weekly cost of PPU is 1/30                of the purchase price of the feature.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;The monthly cost of PPU is 1/10                of the purchase price of the feature.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;We also charge $200 for each PPU/PU                transaction order.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;If you decide to upgrade your receiver within three months of purchase, we fully credit you the price that you paid for the Cinderella Option towards the purchase of upgrades.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard" align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;And note that with all the above options, you are purchasing the superior technology of TPS and the advanced features that nobody else can offer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="standard"&gt;We reserve the right to change, modify or terminate                the PPU/PU program at any time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="1" bordercolor="#000000" cellpadding="5" width="200"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th colspan="5" nowrap="nowrap"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span class="style1"&gt;Cinderella Days&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
