Paul in PA?ÿI have a bachelor's degree in engineering survey , but I need help from people with experience
Much of what you ask for was hashed out on a board like this 15 years ago. It was never put into a text, but it should have been. The text I had in a formal class 18 years ago was written in 1992.The theoretical education in that text was important, but I say it is more important what I learned from more general texts in the use of GPS in surveying. Even more important is what I learned from doing it right and sometimes wrong as well as 18 years of hearing the good and the bad from many others. There is just no succinct way for any of us to pass on our accumulation of many years of knowledge in short replies, so do it yourself, pass or fail, and keep coming back with more specific questions. The most important part of a formal education is that it should have taught you how to keep educating yourself.

Hey Paul ... SURV69 here(Ashtech years).
Way back in the late 90's, there were Magellan Xcm GPS units, which I had used in about 2000-2006 ... even did stop & go with them.
years gone by ...
I just got a deal of a bunch of these units and I'm trying to talk a buddy of mine to FINALLY give GPS a try ... he's very cheap and very non-technical. If I hadn't pushed him, he'd still be using my old software on a Timex 1000 ...
But I have a problem ... I suffered a devastating fire a few years ago ... losing EVERYTHING, including my old drives and computers.
I'm not sure how or where to ask, if anyone has the latest Magellan Promark Xcm firmware(5.04).
I never thought I'd ever see these units ever again, and now ... I have 14 of them.
