Kolida electronic theodolite can measure the distance? How to measure the distance.
The theodolite can't measure the distance directly. You can move the vertical disk to a horizontal position (that is, the right angle is 90 or 270)
Yes, you really better take a total station, ten thousand more points, theodolite is not cheap, what can be bought at more than 10000 very good total station instrument
With the tower ruler or wood with horizon level ruler method to location, and leveling stadia, but you know what is constant by telescope, but generally do not recommend the use of this method, more trouble, the accuracy is not high, to accurate ranging with total station instrument, not with the creator. Copycat too.
