Two days this week in some deep canopy, at least for this area of the country. It seems that in the morning you may as well forget about getting any good data without some open sky, then after lunch time it works under almost anything. The R10 check in was .02'N, .03'E on a quarter corner under lodge poles about 30' tall.
Line should be built by this time next week unless the predicted snow dumps over the weekend.
I will guess that other receivers can accomplish the same tasks, from what I'm seeing it's almost impossible to get too deep in the woods unless you are completely blocked by wide tall fur pines.
I've seen the same.?ÿ Those Galileo birds are the bomb diggity!?ÿ And these days they're the only SVs I look at with planning software.?ÿ 🙂
First thing in the morning there's a good number of them, but too many seem to be too low in the sky.?ÿ And there's a little slump around lunch time.?ÿ But for the rest of the day it just gets stronger and stronger, and I'm always fixing in places that cause me to smile and shake my head in disbelief.?ÿ Trust but verify is my mantra:?ÿ dump, re-init, average
30 feet? Those are baby trees.
deciduous trees are less of a problem, especially on a plain or up on a ridge.
150 foot tall conifers, forget it, especially down in a canyon.
We had a couple of line points set in the deep woods and couldn't get a check, but moved a few feet for an offset where we could get fixed again and then measured over and those checked.
Also since the receiver would get fixed more places in the afternoon we could add extra and check line by eyeball. It would have been impossible a few years ago.
Yup, I wasn't a believer until beginning of summer. Once you use one and perform your prudent checks...….. nuf said.
