Why choose the Leica GS11?
The Leica GS11 combines trusted Leica GNSS positioning with visual surveying, giving surveyors a more intuitive way to navigate, measure, and verify work in the field. Working with Leica X-PAD, its dual cameras provide real site context throughout the surveying workflow, making everyday tasks faster, clearer, and easier to complete.
Visual stakeout overlays navigation guidance onto live camera imagery so you can see exactly where to go, while visual survey with AR lets you view captured data on the live stream. Additionally, you can capture image groups and create points from the images, allowing you to measure where access is difficult or unsafe to reach with the pole.
Before leaving the site, live AR visual checks help you review and validate your work, reducing uncertainty and ensuring the job is completed right the first time.
The Leica GS11 is built for the demands of everyday surveying. Reliable Leica GNSS technology, tilt compensation, an integrated laser, and dual hot-swappable batteries give you the flexibility to keep measuring across long days and when site conditions become challenging.
The GS11 combines trusted hardware with Leica X-PAD intuitive software, Hexagon SmartNet corrections, GeoCloud services, and global Leica Geosystems support in one connected surveying solution. The result is dependable performance that helps teams stay productive from the first point to the final deliverable.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Leica GS11 is available in different variants to suit your surveying and stakeout needs. The GS11 I features dual cameras and supports visual surveying with Leica X-PAD field software, including overlaying measured points or design data on the live camera view, measuring points from images and staking out with live AR guidance. It also features tilt compensation and laser measurement. The GS11 T offers tilt compensation for fast, efficient point measurement without levelling the pole, but does not include imaging capabilities.

Visual survey uses the Leica GS11's dual cameras to display collected data overlaid on a live AR view. This enables you to check what you’ve measured with live site context. Powered by Leica X-PAD, visual surveying extends how you can interact with and validate your data directly in the field while maintaining the trusted accuracy of Leica GNSS.
Visual stakeout combines the Leica GS11's dual cameras with Leica X-PAD to overlay stakeout guidance onto live camera imagery. Instead of navigating using distances alone, you can see exactly where to move in real-world context, making stakeout faster, more intuitive, and easier to understand, especially in complex environments.
The integrated laser extends the range of points you can measure when placing the pole tip isn't practical. Together with image-based measurements and tilt compensation, it gives you multiple ways to capture points in difficult or hard-to-reach locations, helping you work more safely and efficiently in the field.
Yes. The Leica GS11 features dual hot-swappable batteries, allowing you to replace a battery without powering down the smart antenna. This helps minimise interruptions, keeps your measurements running, and supports continuous productivity throughout the working day.
The Leica GS11 is designed to work with Leica X-PAD, unlocking visual surveying, visual stakeout, image-based measurements, and streamlined GNSS workflows. X-PAD also gives you the flexibility to work on your preferred Android tablet or smartphone, or on the rugged Leica CSX8 field tablet, so you can choose the device that best suits your way of working.
