Abstract
A method and apparatus for improving data quality using GNSS. The method is implemented through middleware for existing GNSS survey systems. The method and device automatically analyze streams of GNSS messages from a GNSS receiver mounted to a GNSS survey pole for preconfigured conditions and also automatically measure an angle or tilt of the GNSS survey pole. The middleware automatically locks onto a location point reading of the GNSS receiver when the GNSS survey pole is positioned in an acceptable vertical position, and any preconfigured conditions within the stream of GNSS messages are met. The middleware automatically repeats the GNSS message of the location point instead of the continuing live stream of data to enable a GIS or other system to collect the location point.
