Our Development Team has created the new Binary Geoid for all of Canada in a 22meg binary file. This file
can only be used in SurvCE 5.02 and higher.
Click one of the links below to download the "Canadian_cgg2013.grd" or "Canadian_ht2_0.grd" file (depending on which one
you need to use) and copy it into your data collector under the "Program Files/SurvCE/Data/Geoids" folder:
Canadian_cgg2013.grd
Canadian_ht2_0.grd
How to Load the Geoid in SurvCE/PC
- Go to the Equip tab, in SurvCE, and select the Localization button.
- Select the GPS tab. Then, tap the "GEIODS" button, to browse for, and select, your Canandian geoid. Remember: this
can be found in the following directory of your data collection software:
- For SurvCE: /Program Files/SurvCE/Data/Geoids
- For SurvPC: C:/Carlson Projects/Data/Geoids
- Tap the Green Check and wait about 30 seconds for the file to load.
- When you are returned to the GPS tab; tap the Green Checkmark to save your settings.
This file covers all of Canada so it is unnecessary to use Carlson's Geoid Manager to create specific geoid.
