2.7.3. Manual
Android keyboard tech tip: On some Android devices, default keyboards do not provide a
minus sign. To get access to it, we recommend downloading Gboard, a virtual keyboard app,
from the Google Play Store.
Manual input of the position is rather straightforward and is used when you have access
to a known point. The most popular scenarios include finding a trig point or hiring a
surveyor who will set the benchmark point. In this case, absolute accuracy depends on how
accurately the point's coordinates were determined.

Pay attention and carefully place the base over a known point and measure the height
of the antenna from the mark. It will help to avoid shifts from the absolute position and
keep measurements accurate. Refer to Placing Reach RS2/RS2+ in the field for detailed
instructions.
2.7.4. Average
Let's take a closer look at setting up the base using the position averaging with single, float
and fix solutions. All these ways provide different levels of base coordinates accuracy and
are suitable for different applications.
