The Pathfinder PLDL Survey Grade RTK GNSS Mapping Pipe & Cable Route Tracer is the most accurate combined cable pipe route locating & mapping equipment based on a single man operation.
The Pathfinder PLDL Cable Route tracer is equipped with 36 frequency options of low frequency of 200Hz to 1kHz and with further options of 8kHz up to 476.2Khz. Navigational aids include Left – Right Arrow, Compass for orientation, 8 operating modes including Pin-Point peak to allow route tracing of specific cables in congested buried utility network with a powerful 12-watt transmitter. It also offers USB 5V power output to the Trimble DA2 GNSS receiver which is mounted directly on Pathfinder PLDL survey grade utility locator.
The DA2 is the Next generation Trimble Catalyst (L1/L2/L5) GNSS RTK receiver which delivers survey-quality GNSS positioning to location-enabled Android phone. Cable Route tracing of Medium to Long Distance Cable routes with simultaneous acquisition of GNSS coordinates with High Accuracy of up to 5cms (Or 60 cms based on RTX correction service selected), Cable Depth Data & Asset Images.
The Terra Flow Utility Mapper Mobile App can be installed on any dual Bluetooth android mobile phone & connects to both the Pathfinder PLDL Cable Route tracer & the DA2 GNSS Receiver. Mobile App fetches data acquired includes Route traced, GNSS coordinates of route, Depth data, GNSS error, Date/time of trace acquired and synchronized through cloud with Map data generated automatically for viewing or downloading in office. Data collected in field is Automatically updated to server & Maps can be downloaded in office in real time without further need for emails, file sharing etc.
Digital Maps created Automatically with no further human intervention required. Access GNSS coordinates of cable route with depth & images. Data can be downloaded in. kml (Pictorial map in google earth), AutoCAD, .shp (Shape files) or download data logs in .csv (including Date/time of route trace). It is also possible to add sketches to existing maps for project planning.
The Pathfinder PLDL is the ideal solution for creating Digitized maps of existing cables & pipe routes with pictorial view maps & images.

Mid frequencies (~8 kHz – 33 kHz) : general locating
High frequencies (~65 kHz+) : short-distance / congested areas
• Low frequency : deeper penetration
• High frequency : better in congested areas
Common modes include:
• Active mode (with transmitter)
• Passive mode (detecting existing signals)
Advanced electromagnetic receiver with:
• Signal filtering
• Noise rejection
• Directional detection
• Signal strength
• Frequency
• Depth
• Direction
• GNSS data (when enabled)
• Bluetooth
• USB interface
• GNSS integration

The Pathfinder PLDL allows you to locate, trace, and map underground utilities simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate surveying and mapping processes. It captures route, depth, and GNSS coordinates in real time.
This Pathfinder PLDL uses RTK GNSS technology with up to 5 cm accuracy, enabling survey-grade mapping of buried cables and pipelines. The data is automatically converted into digital maps without manual processing.
The Pathfinder PLDL integrates with mobile apps and GIS platforms, allowing direct export of data into formats like:
• Google Earth (KML)
• AutoCAD
• Shape files (.shp)
• CSV logs
With centimeter-level GNSS accuracy and real-time data capture, this system minimizes human error, ensuring precise and reliable mapping for critical infrastructure projects.
The Pathfinder PLDL automatically captures:
• Route path
• Depth data
• GPS coordinates
• Time & date
and syncs it directly to the cloud, removing manual documentation entirely.
Yes, collected data is automatically uploaded and synchronized, allowing teams to view maps and reports in real time without file transfers or delays.
Yes, the integrated GNSS receiver and mobile app enable single-person operation, significantly reducing manpower and project costs.
A GNSS-enabled system not only locates utilities but also:
• Creates permanent digital records
• Enables GIS integration
• Improves asset management
• Reduces repeat surveys
It combines:
• Multi-frequency locating (36+ frequencies)
• 12W high-power tracing
• RTK GNSS mapping
• Cloud-based data synchronization into a single system for end-to-end utility management.
It can detect and map:
• Underground power cables
• Metallic pipelines
• Telecom fiber cables
• Energized and non-energized utilities
By combining locating and mapping in one process, it:
• Eliminates repeat surveys
• Reduces manpower
• Minimizes errors
• Speeds up project timelines
Yes, Pathfinder PLDL is compatible with major platforms like Esri and AutoCAD, allowing seamless integration into existing workflows.
Using Pathfinder PLDL:
• Trace exact route of underground utilities
• Map their position with GNSS
• Export data to GIS
Standard GNSS: Typically sub-meter accuracy
