An apparatus and method are provided for ensuring good coupling and vertical ly planting (12) of seismic receivers while substantially reducing the need for interconnecting wires and costly surveys. The apparatus includes an acquisition unit (AU) (20) for measuring seismic energy and a planting membe r (12) for engaging and planting the AU (20). An electronic surveying instrume nt (14) is coupled to the planting member (12) for determining the location of the AU (20). An installer (16) plants the AU (20) in the terrain (22) in nea r vertical alignment using the planting member (12). Once the AU (20) is plant ed in near vertical alignment, coordinates are downloaded from the electronic survey unit to locate the planted AU (20).
