Have any of you using the R10 used it where the accuracy readout might be say, 3.0 feet and used it for the purpose of marking lines or points that might not need to be more accurate than 3 feet??ÿ In other words since the R10 doesn't really "initialize," doe it give you a good cozy feeling for any expected accuracy reading it gives you, or is it like simple RMS, which can be precise but inaccurate??ÿ Is that number a precision number or is it accuracy??ÿ How reliable is it for accuracy when staking out in the woods where you can't get the R10 to read better than 3 feet?

Not sure it helps but the last one that was struggling under a pine was telling me it was .1, .2'. Finally set it and it was closer to .5 feet. So if it's telling you 3' then maybe 7 to 10 feet. ?ÿI haven't tested anything, only a guess.?ÿ
In my experience using many different RTK units. What you're referring to is considered a "floating" fix or not "initialized" as Trimble calls it. My experience leads me to see it as a radius of error. So 3' could easily be 6'. You can spend time and watch what it shows you and make your own decision on what is the best or most accurate location and usually get it within that 3' it shows you. If these accuracies are not good enough for what you're doing, I strongly recommend that you use other stakeout methods. Hope this helps.?ÿ
Listo, I appreciate that input, but the question is simply is the accuracy readout on the R10-2 accurate under conditions where it might be in the 3-foot range, or are all bets off it it can't resolve better than 3 feet.?ÿ R10 doesn't "initiallize" like other trimble or other gps units.
