A new generation of GNSS receivers with IMU for speed and convenience – it’s time to buy yours

In need of a versatile GNSS receiver?

Need to measure or find some outdoor landmarks?

Not sure what an IMU is and whether you might find it useful?

Well, you’ve come to the right place! We are here to answer all your questions and explain how to use a state-of-the-art GNSS receiver – the Nivel System Point 3, equipped with a proven latest-generation IMU – in the field.

What is IMU? And why will you make your job easier?

The latest generation IMU is an ultra-modern 9-axis inertial system that enables a rod pitch of +/- 90 degrees. And what’s it all for?

It allows you to measure points that are beyond the capabilities of normal receivers. These include locations where the horizon/sky is obscured (e.g., under trees or on buildings). This system is also perfect for daily measurements – you can measure any point faster without having to accurately calibrate the rod.

The spirit level does not need to be constantly monitored when taking measurements at building corners and recording other data.

The features also work well for measuring and marking the following:

• points, e.g., under a parked car or other obstacle; hard-to-reach areas covered with lush vegetation, e.g., building facades, fences; difficult-to-reach small watercourses and ditches; loose dumps, fall areas – by increasing safety and avoiding dangerous edges; on busy roads – a quick measurement from a safe distance avoids the risk of walking on a busy stretch of road.

Our IMU is resistant to magnetic interference. Thus, metal elements (e.g., fences, roofing, reinforcements) cannot interfere with the inclinometer measurement.
