Abstract
The present invention relates to both a surveying apparatus with a picking-up device and a electronic storage medium, and particularly to a surveying apparatus capable of combining a background image captured by a picking-up device with survey data obtained by the surveying apparatus and displaying the combined image on a display unit, wherein the surveying apparatus is configured such that the picking-up device can be connected to the surveying apparatus, the picking-up device having an optical axis approximately parallel with an optical axis of the surveying apparatus, the surveying apparatus comprising: an operation unit for associating measurement data obtained by the surveying apparatus with image data obtained by the picking-up device and displaying a measurement target position mark in the image data; a first storage unit for storing the measurement data associated with the image data; a second storage unit for storing the image data associated with the measurement data; and a display unit for, when necessary, displaying at least one of the measurement data and the image data stored in the first storage unit and the second storage unit, respectively.
