I have Level 3 soil test stakes on my lot for approved field line locations. I have taken GPS reading with my phone at those points and have quadrant bearing data. Using that information can points be placed for callouts on the site plan? If so what do I need to search for in the help files?

If all those points are recorded in a .gpx file the file can be used to import the data into Chief.  However you may need to curb your expectations on the level of accuracy using a phone to record the GPS points.   File > Import > Import GPS Data...

 

If that is not an option you can convert your GPS coordinates to your local Projected Coordinate System in meters and then plot that out in Chief using the x and y grid.

Note that this is not technically correct as a slight scale factor should be applied but depending on your location that is often quite negligible.
