A site from one machine to another
The site is on the excavator, the surveyor has left, and tomorrow a second machine arrives on the same job. Pick the site, type the eight digits from the other screen, done — without pulling the site in first and without converting it again.
- Machine to machine, even between two brands: it arrives in the receiver’s format
- Eight digits from the other machine’s screen — no addresses, no settings
- From the machine itself and from the Converter in the office
- Only what concerns the drawing travels: design, lines, points and the coordinate system

Why it is not instant
We do not have that site: it sits on the first machine. It is fetched there first, then delivered in the second machine’s format. Both machines check in every five seconds, so in practice it is across within the minute. Longer than that means one of the two is not listening — and the screen says so, instead of a bar that keeps spinning.
From Trimble to CHCnav
The receiver decides the format, not the sender. A site sitting on a Trimble controller arrives on a CHCnav tablet as a CHCnav site, with the matching coordinate system. You do not need to know what is in the other cab.
What stays behind
Paperwork stays: work orders, logs, photos and PDF reports. Only the drawing travels. And if a site does not go over in full, the screen says how many files fall outside the limit — half a site that looks complete is something you would otherwise only notice in the cab.

Delivers once; the site then spreads across the machines by itself
Takes over the site from the machine next to him with eight digits from its screen
