GPS for GIS
We supply GPS survey poles for surveyors, engineers, contractors and GIS field teams who need to mount a compatible receiver at a consistent working height during coordinate capture, site checks and field measurement. Our current range includes a 2 m carbon-fibre GPS rover rod for receiver-based work across construction, land, utility and inspection sites.
As part of our GPS / GIS range, this equipment supports the physical setup around a receiver. A GPS survey pole is not a GPS device by itself. It holds the receiver over the required point, while the receiver and compatible controller provide the positioning and data functions. Using the correct pole helps you keep the receiver in the intended position as you move between field points.
GPS Survey Poles for Consistent Receiver Positioning
When a receiver is used to record or check a location, its mounting position matters. A GPS survey pole gives the operator a defined height and a practical way to hold the receiver above the point being measured. This can be useful when collecting site features, checking asset locations, recording survey points or returning to the same field references later.
Keeping the receiver at a consistent height helps support a more repeatable field process. It also gives the operator a more controlled setup than temporary or hand-held placement. The correct pole height and working procedure should always be confirmed through the receiver or controller workflow before measurements are taken.
A 2 m Carbon-Fibre GPS Rover Rod for Field Use
The 2 m carbon-fibre GPS rover rod provides a practical working height for a compatible GPS or GNSS receiver. Its two-section format helps make the pole easier to transport and store between jobs, while the carbon-fibre construction keeps it practical for regular field use.
This type of GPS rover pole is suited to teams working across open sites, construction areas, land parcels, utility routes and inspection locations. It allows the user to position the receiver over each point without relying on inconsistent hand-held placement. For repeated location checks or coordinate capture, a dedicated rover rod can help keep the equipment setup more organised throughout the day.
Supporting Coordinate Capture and GIS Fieldwork
A GPS survey pole supports receiver-based coordinate capture, where users need to collect location information from several points across a site. The operator can position the receiver over a feature, inspection point or site reference while following the procedure required by the receiver and controller.
The pole does not create maps, process GIS information or increase the positioning capability of the receiver. Its purpose is to hold the compatible receiver in the required position and at the required height. This makes it a useful part of fieldwork where location information needs to be captured in a consistent way.
Matching a Rover Rod to Your Receiver Setup
Before buying a rover rod, check that it suits the receiver and mounting arrangement already in use. Working height, fitting compatibility, controller workflow and the accessories required on site should all be considered. Do not assume that one pole is suitable for every receiver or that one arrangement will suit every field task.
For GNSS receivers, controllers and professional positioning equipment, browse our GPS for Survey range. We can help you match a GPS survey pole to your existing equipment and the type of fieldwork you need to complete.
GPS Survey Poles and Handheld GPS Devices
GPS survey poles are designed to support compatible receivers during coordinate capture and field positioning. They are different from handheld navigation devices, which are mainly used for routes, waypoints and general location awareness when working outdoors.
For portable navigation and route planning, explore our Handheld GPS range. Choosing the right equipment depends on whether you need a receiver-mounted setup for field points or a compact device for navigating between locations.
