Create or import project
We recommend creating projects before the survey since some coordinate systems require additional downloads in Emlid Flow.
This guide describes how to create or import a project in Emlid Flow or Emlid Flow 360 to survey.
Overview
Projects are a way to group and operate your survey data. Using projects, you can collect and stake out data in the preferred coordinate system. Projects can be linked with a code library to help you manage survey data later in the post-processing.
Workflow
Every survey starts with a project.
