Abstract:
Most surveyors use a GPS-enabled device when performing a land survey. To minimize the frequency with which GPS units lose their connection with a GPS satellite between survey points, the GPS unit is kept on the outside of the vehicle. Current devices that allow a GPS or survey pole to be attached to the outside of a vehicle only allow a GPS or survey pole to be mounted at the window. Embodiments of the present invention comprise a vehicle-mounted survey pole that allows the pole to be coupled to vehicle at a truck bed, a wheel-well or a trailer hitch. The embodiments comprise a rod and a vehicle-attachment bracket, the rod including a tube-clamp to couple the GPS or survey pole to the rod. The vehicle-attachment bracket couples the rod to the vehicle.
