NavLink
Overview
Install NavLink using Seismic Source Installer. NavLink is Seismic Source's field navigation, quality control, and reporting platform for autonomous seismic source operations. Running on an inexpensive Android tablet, NavLink keeps source operators connected to Force X, Force 3, and Boom Box 3 systems through Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for additional field cabling. NavLink simplifies source acquisition by providing real-time navigation, map displays, source status, quality control information, and source point accounting directly in the field. Operators can navigate to source locations, monitor acquisition performance, review QC information, and automatically transfer acquisition data back to SourceLink for production reporting and observer logs.

Benefits
- Real-time navigation and automated source point tracking help operators move efficiently through the spread while reducing missed or duplicated source points.
- Wireless tablet operation eliminates unnecessary cables while providing operators with the information needed to work independently in the field.
- Real-time mapping, exclusion zones, and source navigation help crews reach source locations quickly and safely.
- Immediate access to PSS and PFS information allows crews to identify acquisition issues and correct problems before they impact production.
- Automatic source point accounting ensures every source point is documented and transferred into the reporting system.
- Acquisition information automatically flows into SourceLink, simplifying observer logs, production reporting, and project documentation.
