Locating a reference station setup point

A self-propelled construction machine, comprising:

• a machine frame;
• a plurality of wheels or tracks supporting the machine frame from a ground surface;
• a working tool supported from the machine frame and configured to work the ground surface or erect structures on the ground surface;
• and
• a DGNSS rover unit associated with the self-propelled construction machine, the DGNSS rover unit being configured to receive satellite signals of a global navigation satellite system and correction signals of a reference station to be set up in a vicinity of the construction machine, the DGNSS rover unit including a computing and evaluation unit configured such that on a basis of the satellite signals and the correction signals, construction machine position data describing a position of a construction machine reference point on the construction machine are determined in a coordinate system independent of the construction machine;
• wherein the computing and evaluation unit includes a reference station position data memory configured to store a reference station position data set including a plurality of data sub-sets of reference station position data, wherein each of the data sub-sets describes a location of one of a plurality of reference station setup points in a vicinity of a path along which the construction machine moves;
• and
• wherein the computing and evaluation unit is configured such that one or more machine-readable data sets are generated corresponding to the reference station position data set.

A method of locating a reference station setup point of a reference station to be set up in a vicinity of a self-propelled construction machine, the self-propelled construction machine including a machine frame, a plurality of wheels or tracks supporting the machine frame from a ground surface, a working tool supported from the machine frame and configured to work the ground surface or erect structures on the ground surface, and a DGNSS rover unit associated with the self-propelled construction machine, the DGNSS rover unit being configured to receive satellite signals of a global navigation satellite system and correction signals of a reference station to be set up in a vicinity of the construction machine, the DGNSS rover unit including a computing and evaluation unit configured such that on a basis of the satellite signals and the correction signals, construction machine position data describing a position of a construction machine reference point on the construction machine are determined in a coordinate system independent of the construction machine, the method comprising:

• importing a reference station position data set from an external data source into a reference station position data memory, wherein the reference station position data set describes locations of a plurality of reference station setup points in a vicinity of a path along which the self-propelled construction machine is to move;
• and
• creating one or more machine-readable data sets corresponding to the reference station position data set and storing the machine-readable data sets in the reference station position data memory with the computing and evaluation unit.
