Apparatus and method for locating electronic job site plan features at a job site

摘要

In order for work, such as excavation, to occur at a job site, a job site plan with various job site features must be accurately translated to ground locations at the job site. The present disclosure locates a job site feature at a job site by storing a job site plan including at least one job site location on a computer readable data storage medium of an apparatus. An apparatus location is determined via at least one location sensor and compared to the at least one job site location. A job site locating algorithm also stored on the computer readable data storage medium is operable to indicate when the at least one job site location and the apparatus location are coincident.
