@bstrand IMU has nothing to do with tree canopy. The R12 has a faster CPU, and if you are coming from only GPS + Glonass, it is Galileo providing the extra L5 type signals that go through leaves since I haven??t seen me tracking more than 5 US satellites broadcasting L5 while all Galileo (and many Beidou) have L5 type signals.
@rover83 Ouch. I also have PLS/PMs who aren’t tech savvy, but fortunately they realize that we’re going to leverage new technologies as they come along and they trust me to implement it and get everyone trained.
I can definitely relate to the low bar for hiring. But interestingly, some of the young guys we hired in as entry level rodmen who stuck it out and became instrument men are pretty tech savvy and catch on to all of this stuff very quickly, especially the ones who are ambitious and want to learn. Apparently growing up with PCs, cell phones, and video games isn’t all bad… lol.
That’s right. I’ve just been lumping the tilt and canopy features together since that’s how my local guys have been trying to sell it.
