With out a basic understanding of survey principal all you have is expensive gizmo that lulls you into thinking you have done a good job.
If you could not at least attempt the survey with a couple of decent tapes and a theodolite you do not have the knowledge to know if the survey you are producing with the electronic kit is sound. The out put may look great but could you define the level of accuracy of the survey you have produced?
