Looking for a new controller. I need to have reliable WI-FI and Bluetooth to run simultaneously for my network rover.

Any comments on the FC-25 as far as this capability and overall performance / satisfaction? I would be running Carlson SurvCE on the unit.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

IMO on the GETAC PS-236 (aka Nautiz, aka FC-25, aka...:
1. Great unit from a ruggedness standpoint.
2. Poor (typical color) screen in outdoor enviorment
3. no alpha keypad, but does have a number keypad

My recommendation for DC would be the CHC LT-30 (lots of aka's here too), Smaller, better screen, longer battery life. Cons on LT30 is not as rugged and no number pad but is over $500 less.

www.field2finish.net has both of these units with Carlson and Microsurvey. I also have both of them and prefer the LT30 over the Getac due to screen size and visability.
