Available Now: Leica SmartWorx Viva v4.0

Leica Geosystems releases version 4.0 of the easy-to-use Leica SmartWorx Viva onboard software. This new version is packed with exciting new features to make data collection and stakeout even simpler and even more productive. Furthermore, SmartWorx Viva v4.0 supports the following available new products and services: the high-accurate Leica Viva GS25 GNSS surveying receiver, the Leica CGR10 & 15 radio modems, and the Leica Exchange data transfer service.



Only six months after the release of SmartWorx Viva v3.5, the new SmartWorx Viva v4.0 is now available. Alastair Green, Program Manager at Leica Geosystems says “We have been extremely busy gathering wishes and ideas from our users for new features within SmartWorx Viva. It is this feedback which influences the new functionality we add to our software. I am very happy to say that even in the short time frame of six months we have added an incredible number of new features.”

The new features in SmartWorx Viva v4.0 include the following:

• Leica Geosystems Trusted Services is extended with the introduction of Leica Exchange. This allows data to be transferred between field users and office users. Objects such as jobs, code lists and coordinate systems are recognised and automatically places in the appropriate locations making data transfer very simple (more information at: http://www.leica-geosystems.com/Leica_Exchange).

• 3D data overlay: Points, lines and areas which have been surveyed are now overlaid onto the live video produced by the wide-angle camera of the TS11 and TS15 imaging total stations

• Improved remote viewing of the TS wide angle camera with CTR16/RH16 radios: Together with a Viva CS Field Controller (with the new CTR16 radio) and a TS15 Imaging Total Station ( with the new RH16 radio handle) it is now possible to see what the total station sees with a 10Hz update rate.

• Panoramic image capture: When using a TS15 imaging total station it is now possible to capture a “panoramic” image. The area over which the panoramic image should be captured is defined and the total station then captures the appropriate number of images, stitches them together and stores one panoramic image

• Improved lock at short distances: The lock performance of the TS15 total station is now greatly improved especially when working at short distances from the total station

• Extensions to pop-up menus and Drawing toolbar: Within many maps it is now possible to select multiple objects from the map. Tapping and holding then presents a pop-up menu containing options depending on the objects selected. Additionally a drawing toolbar has been added which allows line and area objects to be easily surveyed

• Using GS08 and GS12 GNSS Sensors as RTK base stations: It is now possible to use the GS08 and GS12 GNSS Sensors as RTK base stations

Leica SmartWorx Viva software was designed with simplicity in mind by using clear graphics, logical menu structures, non-technical terminology and simplified workflows. For this reason it has become incredibly popular amongst a wide range of measurement professionals – from “occasional” surveyors who may only need to measure or stake-out points once or twice a week to “power users” using Leica Viva equipment every day.

Points, lines and areas which have been surveyed are now overlaid onto the live video produced by the wide-angle camera of the Leica Viva TS11i and TS15i Imaging Total Stations.

Leica Viva GS25: High-accurate GNSS Surveying Receiver for Peak Performance
The Leica Viva GS25 is the ultimate high-end GNSS Surveying Receiver and further expands Leica Geosystems’ GNSS surveying portfolio of its successful Leica Viva family. The GS25 Receiver provides peak performance even under the most demanding conditions offering highest accuracy and reliability, highest flexibility, proven technology, extreme ruggedness, and future proof design. 

Also available are the CGR10 and CGR15 radio modems for the Leica Viva CS 10 & CS 15 Controllers. Both modems are an ideal extension to the Leica Viva NetRover and Leica Viva GS12 rover. They can also be used with the Leica Viva GS10, GS15, and the new GS25 receiver.



The Leica CGR10 now transforms the Leica Viva NetRover, consisting of a Leica Viva CS10 and the GS08 receiver, into a fully flexible RTK rover that supports both GSM/GPRS and UHF communications.
