An instrument that combines a gyroscope and a theodolite to determine the true azimuth angle. It can be used within the range of 75 ° north south latitude on the earth. When the gyroscope rotates at high speed, due to the influence of the earth's rotation, its axial meridian plane swings back and forth on both sides. Through observation, the true north direction can be determined. Gyro theodolite is mainly used for directional work of underground traverse survey in mines and tunnels. Some gyro theodolites are controlled by a microprocessor and automatically display measurement results, with high measurement accuracy. The laser gyro theodolite has the characteristics of high accuracy, stability, and low cost.
