Hello,
We recently started using Surpad with our FOIF A90 GNSS.
I set up our coordinate system in the software (NAD83 Tennessee) and loaded in the geoid for our area (Geoid 18 Grid 7 for the USA).
When measuring a point our Horizontal is correct but the elevation is around 100 feet off compared to what we usually use. I think it is showing ellipsoidal height and not orthometric.
I am not seeing a place to define any vertical datum.
Is there a step I am missing or is there a way to show orthometric/ confirm that it is showing orthometric height?
Thank you!

You definitely need to upload the geoid for your area. Be careful, because you'll need to reconfirm it for each job by selecting it and clicking "OK."
