It seems to me that more and more GPS MFR's are making better gear. I think it's a good trend. I happen to have bought Javad Gear, but ANYTHING that improves quality, is good for the profession in general.
Here is a pic of some of my work. If you go over to the Javad forum, there is a thread called https://support.javad.com/index.php?threads/post-pics-of-difficult-shots.1643/page-6
This thread has more replies, than any other, on the Javad forum.I got 2 shots here, over about 12 mins of time. 0.05' apart.
Yup. Fully verified.This means it has around 10+15 independent fixes, over a period of time, and your certainty is in the range of "Parts per million". You do get a little loss of accuracy, in the woods... a few hundredths. but, hey, at least we are not chopping line, and toting a total station, and all the rest of it. Instead, we are listening to birds, searching for stuff, while the GPS clicks away.... It's surveyor heaven! (nearly)

I can definitely do with less chopping line.

I can't tell you how many times a week I turn to my helper and proclaim: "this sure beats the hell out of traversing!" He never disagrees.

Thanks for comments, I got some answers, and an e-mail and some things to think about. Been out of town so still catching up on my reading.
