I have a client that wants a seismic line staked. There are a lot of tree canopy issues. We've done this for them before using a comination of static gps and conventional methods. They are looking for a faster method. The accuracy requirement is +/-10 feet horizontal and vertical. I've looked a bit at inertial systems... they are expensive. Any ideas?
Rent one; that's exactly what they're intended for. Plan your survey for maximum efficiency of the backpacks to save on your rental bill.
A good GPS receiver like the Trimble R8 Model 4 is going to get you within 10' no matter how bad the canopy is. I'd run it in a purely DGPS mode. Trimble also has a seismic application for Access that works directly with the files from GPSeismic.
