Getting started

Installed and drawing in a few minutes.

First

Install

Download the installer above and run it. GoSurvey installs to Program Files and adds a Start Menu entry. If it will not start, install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for x64.

Then

Set your units

Run UNITS once and pick the precision and bearing format you work in — surveyor's bearings, DMS or decimal. Every readout and label follows it.
