A couple of good reasons to like a Javad LS

Here, this first pic, shows the 1/4 corner. It is not a very good place to RTK GPS.

Here, you can see that all 10 "Buckets" are full. The next thing it did, was dump everything, and start over.

The first shot, took about 10 mins. VERIFY was turned off. It was a bad shot, by 8 feet.

I then turned VERIFY on, and shot it 4 more times. All 4 were within 0.06' of each other. I was on the point a total of around 50 minutes.
The wrong shot, sort of scared me.... So, I wanted to really check things, and shot, and re shot it, until, I realized it was good. Some shots were up at 12' tall pole, some at 8', and others were down at 5 ft.
I had left the setting in the LS at 5 ft, and so I don't have a very good verification of the elevation of this shot. Maybe next time. OR, If I knew the exact length of my pole, at the 8' and 12' settings, which I don't know.... I was after the horizontal position.

If I were to try to get this shot, with my old GPS, and the Satellites were in PERFECT configuration, It would take me a MINIMUM of 2 hrs. I suspect it would waste 1/2 a day, due to it getting BAD fixes. And, I feel I'd have to have at least 3 that agreed with each other. At different times. It would be a 1/4 mile traverse to get this, with total station, from a nearby field.
