Waypoints manufacturer files should be kept up to date and are provided here as a convenience for user's who do not have internet access on the computer running Inertial Explorer, GrafNav, GrafMov, or GrafNav Lite. These files contain information which is critical to Precise Point Positioning (PPP) accuracy, as well as a list of current sites used in the download utility, favourites menu, and any new datum and grid transformations among other information.

These files are normally automatically updated every two weeks; however this requires an internet connection and no firewall restrictions when connecting to our server. These files can be manually updated by unzipping the contents of this zip file to the appropriate directory, depending on which version of software is being used. If using version 8.10 of our post-processing packages please unzip these files to the installation directory. If using version 8.20 (or later), please unzip to “C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data\NovAtel\Inertial_Explorer_8_20\Manufact” for Inertial Explorer, or “C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data\NovAtel\GrafNav_GrafNet_8_20\Manufact” for GrafNav.

Google Earth Profile for download sites

All of the services in GrafNav/GrafNet's™ download utility are now available in Google Earth profiles (click on link to get zip file containing nine Google earth profiles - one for each service in GrafNav/Net's download utility). These services include the North American CORS network, the global IGS network, and other Canadian, European, Japanese, and Australian networks. These files help select the most appropriate stations to download for processing airborne surveys that span long distances. In order to visualize the stations that are closest to the flight path, a user can export a single point solution from the GPB viewer, or process an approximate solution from one base station within GrafNav, and then export it using the Export Wizard profile "Google Earth (Epochs)". This creates a .kml file format that can be loaded into the project along with, for example, the CORS .kml file. Once these files are loaded, a user sees their airborne trajectory along with the positions of each CORS site.
