What is CHCNAV LandStar 8?

LandStar 8 is CHCNAV's field surveying and mapping app for Android phones, tablets and CHCNAV data controllers. It runs CHCNAV GNSS receivers and supported total stations for construction surveys, control, topographic mapping, stakeout, road work and GIS data collection – with a clean interface that new crew members learn quickly.

Main features

Easy to learn

Large map windows, only the tools you need on screen, a customisable layout and built-in video tutorials help field crews get productive fast.

Fast CAD base maps

The MetaCAD engine opens DWG and DXF files quickly – CHCNAV quotes 200 MB DXF files in under 10 seconds on its controllers. Snap to endpoints and nodes, edit CAD in the field, use external references and Quick Code to draw linework while you survey.

Stakeout for every job

Stake out points, lines, surfaces and roads with clear graphical guidance.

Quick project set-up

Copy coordinate systems, control and stakeout points from another controller by scanning a QR code, and use the site calibration wizard for local grids.

Cloud connectivity

Back up projects, share data between office and field with a Sharing Code, and get remote help from the office.

Supported hardware

• CHCNAV GNSS receivers (i-series rovers, iBase and more)
• CHCNAV HCE600, LT700 / LT700H controllers and Android 6.0.1+ devices
• Total stations, NMEA receivers, pipe locators and laser rangefinders
• Corrections via NTRIP (for example the LATNET CORS network in Alberta), TCP or UHF radio
