Hello. If I wanted to collect data in a local coordinate system (CS), would I create my data in the local CS and create a custom basemap in that same CS? I am using a Trimble DA2 reiciever to collect data. For the location profile  in Field Maps, would I always chose NAD 1983 2011 as my GNSS CS and then the local CS as my map CS?

With this data in the local county coordinate system already, it seems to make more sense to stick with set up #1. Is my thought process off on this?

 


I agree with this; I believe you are on the right track. I cant comment too much on the Z value results though as I have less experience in the area of vertical datums.
