Carlson Software releases Carlson Layout

Drawing on over two decades of experience with the industry-standard survey and GIS field software, SurvPC, Carlson Software has introduced their Android-based field solution for construction layout.

Carlson Layout, a completely new program, represents a streamlined solution that allows fast, efficient layout capabilities for construction professionals using total stations or GPS receivers such as the Carlson CR+ series of robotic total stations and the Carlson BRx7 GNSS receiver.

Carlson Layout brings the advantage of the full Carlson driver library. Easily the most extensive driver library available anywhere, Layout opens up the widest range of compatible hardware options to users.

Specialized features to help construction professionals work smoothly in the field include an intuitive user experience to minimize time spent learning the software, full support for DXF and DWG files, integration with Google Drive and other cloud storage systems for simple file handling, compatibility with Carlson CRD and CRDB files, the ability to check surface or fixed elevations without creating points, and a simple, two-tap layout for points, lines, and surfaces.

Layout works effectively with GPS RTK systems, and can receive RTK connections from a cell phone, internal modem, internal radio, or external radio. Powerful reporting options included with Layout allow users to quickly get their deliverables out the door.
