When you become a TeamSurv logger, you just have a tool that logs data from your instruments whilst you go about your normal activities at sea - there is no requirement to go to specific areas or to go in survey lines, we just take your data as it comes. If you use a PC on board, then we supply you with a software logger, or otherwise we can loan you with a hardware logger that records data to a USB memory stick.
Once ashore, you upload your data to our server - the software logger can do this directly, or for the hardware logger you just put the memory stick into a computer and upload the data through your web browser. You can then see your data, and that of all the other loggers, up on the web site, overlaid over Google Maps (with data from other loggers being shown anonymously). As we collect data, we will correct it for tide heights and sea level. Then, when we have enough data in an area, we can combine it into a composite data set that is more accurate than individual tracks from individual users.
As well as being available to the loggers, we will also be able to feed the processed data in to creating more accurate charts, filling in areas that have never had a detailed survey, and providing more up to date data where the survey was last carried out a while ago.

| NavMon PC supports TeamSurv - 13 March 2012NavMon PC is a free program that displays your NMEA instrument data as numbers, dials or as a graph, and also shares the data with other programs by creating a virtual COM port. As well as being useful in its own right, it is also free! We were recently introduced to NavMon by one of our loggers, and found that it can be used to log NMEA data for TeamSurv. See here for how to configure NavMon to log data for TeamSurv. read more ... |

| New release of SmartLog - 25 January 2012There is a new release of SmartLog available, that overrides the December 2011 expiry date of the previous release, and fixes a few bugs. Even f you use a hardware logger, it is worth using SmartLog for data uploads, as it is faster and more reliable than the web site. read more ... |
| Yachting Monthly article - 25 January 2012Yachting Monthly have carried out a long term gear test on TeamSurv, available in their February issue. Graham Snook was actually our first signed up logger, and he logged data for us on his cruise up to Scotland that you may have read about in YM. |
