When the locator is communicating with a GPS device, the LAT and LONG coordinates received from the device will appear on the marker locate display.

Step 1. Locate a marker (See 4. D. Single Marker Locate.) Step 2. Press Read [SK]

The information from the iD marker, as well as the GPS coordinates, will display on the locator display. This information is saved automatically in the Read Marker History. (See 8.A. Reviewing Marker Read/Write History.)

If the marker is a passive marker (rather than iD) the locator will display “No iD Marker Found”. The GPS coordinates of the attempt to read the non-iD marker are stored in the Read Marker History as serial number # 0000-0000-0000. The marker details will indicate “not an iD marker”, but will display the GPS coordinates.

C. Sending iD Marker Data to GPS (Capture-Transmit Mode / Mode 2)

Menu [6] + COM Setup [SK:3] + GIS

Locators that have marker locating capability (indicated by ‘iD’ in the model number) can be configured to send 3M™ iD Marker data directly to some GPS devices. When an iD marker is located and read, the information read from the iD marker, with feature and attribute data, is sent to the GPS device and is stamped with latitude, longitude and date/time data. The data acquired during this logging process can be uploaded to GIS mapping software. For more information and detailed instructions pertaining to specific GPS devices, refer to www.3M.com/dynatel for GPS instruction sheet.
