Learning the Basics of Leica iCON Field
Short videos covering the setup steps crews get stuck on. Work through them in order the first time, then use them as a reference whenever somebody new joins the crew.
Book hands-on trainingThe basics, in order
Each video covers one task. Together they take you from a new project to checked into control and laying out.
Create a project
Setting up a new project and the structure iCON expects, so data lands where the office can find it.
Create a job
Jobs inside a project, what separates them, and how to avoid the naming mess that makes data hard to find later.
Create a GNSS rover profile
Configuring the rover, the correction source and the coordinate system before you rely on a single point.
Create a total station profile
Instrument profile setup, including the settings that decide whether one-person operation actually works.
Verify your position over a control point
The check that catches most bad days before they start. Do it every time, not only when something feels wrong.
More iCON Field videos, including using the map view, are in our full tutorial showcase.
Pair iCON software with the right hardware
iCON Field is built around the iCON instrument range, and the combination is where the one-person workflow pays off. Layout runs straight from the model, the instrument follows the rod, and nobody is standing at the tripod.
If you are choosing hardware to go with the software, the iCR70 and iCR80 are the current robotic total stations, and the iCON GPS 70 T covers GNSS work. We stock, rent and service all of them.

Leica iCR70 and iCR80
The current iCON robotic total stations. One-person layout driven from the model, with field software built for construction rather than survey.
Leica iCON GPS 70 T
GNSS rover for site positioning and layout where line of sight is the problem rather than accuracy.
Leica iCON CC200 field controller
The rugged tablet the software runs on, sized for gloves and daylight.
Want someone to walk your crew through it?
Video gets you started. Half a day on your own site with your own instruments gets a crew productive.

We are an authorized Leica Geosystems Service and Distribution Partner. We sell, rent, service and train on everything we supply, from our own calibration center in Boise.
Training beats a manual
Most crews are productive on iCON inside a day with someone alongside them. What training changes is method: where to set up, how to check in, and what to do when the model disagrees with the slab.
