Abstract

See full text

Embodiments provide for methods and portable positioning devices adapted to determine a geospatial position of a point of interest. In one embodiment, the portable positioning device comprises an antenna, a levelling detector, an imaging device, a display unit and a processing unit. The antenna may be adapted to receive satellite information signals. The levelling detector is arranged relative to the antenna for detecting whether the antenna is positioned horizontally. The imaging device has an optical axis and a sighting axis. In one embodiment, the sighting axis intersects an antenna axis. In another embodiment, the sighting axis is aligned with the antenna axis. The display unit may be provided for assisting in identifying the point of interest within a field of view of the imaging device and for assisting in identifying whether the antenna is horizontally levelled and whether a phase center and the point of interest are vertically aligned.
