1. In the **Tools** menu, click **Start survey**.
2. On the displayed form, click![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-75ufuqlk.png)to start a new survey.

#### Survey items

To view line and point objects related to the survey, click **Items**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-9b50wtwm.png)

#### Creating surveys

First, save the basic survey information in the KeyMobile application, as instructed in the [Survey form](/docs/functions#_Kartoitus-lomake) chapter. Information on the saved survey will be displayed, and you can add survey items in this view.

**Tip**: The changes you have made will be displayed in the green bar at the bottom of the form, for example: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-58zn2p3p.png)

![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-ln2qnp90.png)

**Line**

The functions of the Line section enable survey procedures for line objects such as ducts and cables. A line object consists of survey lines and points. Select the required survey item from the drop-down menu.

Click **Start** to start line object surveying. If you have activated the **Use interval** function in **Settings**, points will be saved immediately after you click the **Start** button. The **Start** button will then be replaced by a **Stop** button. Click Stop to pause the saving of points.

- If **Time interval** has been selected, the survey point of a line object will be saved in accordance with the defined time interval.
- If **Distance interval** has been selected, the survey point of a line object will be saved whenever the defined distance interval figure is reached.
- **If NO interval has been activated**, the first survey point will be saved when you click **Start**. After this, the button will be replaced by a **Point** button, which is used to save the next survey point of the line object.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-1wv9xmnr.png)

**Click Stop** to stop measurements being made for a line object. Further information on functions related to intervals is provided in the [Survey settings](/docs/functions#_Kartoituksen_asetukset) chapter.

**Point**

The functions of the Point section enable you to save point objects such as manholes and masts. Select the required survey item from the drop-down menu.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-23i1l634.png)

There are three ways of saving point objects:

1. Clicking the **Point** button will add a survey point for the selected survey item.
2. **Point+Line** will create a survey point for the selected point object and add a line for the active line object.
3. **Prev.point** adds a survey point in the same location with the previous saved survey point. This enables multiple survey points to be added to the same location.

**Antenna height**

The **Antenna height (m)** section is used to define the antenna or measuring device height from the ground. This tool is particularly useful in situations in which the height of a measuring device changes before the survey has been completed.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-ytwpzto7.png)

#### Survey settings

Click **Settings** to define the survey settings.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-1tsgys35.png)

On the Settings form, you can define either a time or distance interval for **line objects**. If you choose to apply an interval, the survey points for a line object will be recorded automatically in accordance with one of the **Use interval** options:

- **Time interval (s)**: Survey points will be added for a line object in accordance with the time frame specified in seconds.
- **Distance interval (m)**: Survey points will be added for a line object in accordance with the specified number of metres.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1768905072994.png)

The settings for point objects are defined in the **Point recording time (s)** and **Quality threshold (m)** fields:

- **Point recording time (s):** The survey point is calculated based on all measurements made within the specified recording time. The shortest possible recording time is one second. If this option has not been selected, survey points will be recorded immediately without the average value being calculated. When the application is making calculations, the remaining time will be displayed on your device’s screen.
- **Quality threshold (m):** The **Quality threshold** field is used for defining the minimum accuracy of survey points. If the accuracy of your device is not as good as the defined accuracy, the application will notify you of this when a survey point is being created. You can, however, add a point, or you can choose not to add it. The survey will then resume automatically.

**Use Geoid height correction** **(requires separate activation)**: **Use Geoid height correction** is used for enabling automatic Geoid correction of survey height values:

- If the option is disabled: Survey data uploads without triggering Geoid height correction.
- If the option is enabled: Survey data uploads while always triggering Geoid height correction.

The **Create network objects** option creates network objects in connection with the creation of survey items. The logic of network object creation is the same as in the browser application.

The **Save** button is used to save the selected options as the default settings for your username. If you do not save the settings, the settings you defined will be available for the duration of your KeyMobile session.

Click **Close** to close the survey’s **Settings**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-wkpseq38.png)

## Locate and Follow

The **Locate**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-7z5oiwmc.png)button has a menu with two functions: **Locate** and **Follow**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-ju760kbc.png)

If your device has a GPS chip, these functions will use it to locate you. If the device does not have a GPS chip, your location will be determined based on the telecommunications network. Location accuracy is usually not as good as when GPS positioning is used. The estimated location accuracy is displayed on the map as a circle, and this information is also included in your location data.

### Centring the map on the device location (Locate)

1. Click the **Locate** button.
2. In the displayed menu, choose **Locate** to see your current location on the map.![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1741270424301.png)

This is a useful function, for example, when someone else is updating the file at the same time at another location.

## Changing the map view – Map layers

With different map layers, various map objects can be displayed simultaneously or, alternatively, certain types of network objects can be hidden. Only one background map at a time can be selected for display.

1. Click **Layers**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/functions-image-ze8wyz9w.png).
