I see that my described coding pattern did show - it was written as (pointcode)(line number, if linework has been done)(space)(linework control code)

lukenz, You can see both grid and ground distances (but not ellipsoidal) if you turn on the "To cartographic plane (grid)" option under Coordinate Sys...

I have used it for some time and as with all in this life, it has it's pros an cons. I like the modern, intuitive interface, free updates and web maps...

Just for information, only GS08plus, GS14 (older models, not new ones) and GS15 is compatible with both CS10/15 (SmartWorx Viva) and CS20 (Captivate)....

GS08plus is compatible with CS20/Captivate, GS08 is not. It came before the GS08plus and is only compatible with CS10/15/Smartworx Viva. GS12 is a rel...

New GS14's are not compatible with CS20, only older models are. Here's the info: "With Leica Captivate v2.00 or higher, only GS14 with serial numbers ...

If I remember correctly, Stonex buys their total stations from FOIF - a Chinese manufacturer.

If you're looking to buy Trimble, i would advise to test the R8s model too. It's not worth comparing a new receiver with a 10-year old one - the newer...

Nate, maybe i'm not understanding it fully, but i think Leica does it similarly, as John said in his post. WGS84 LLH and geocentric coordinates are st...

You don't need to buy a full Leica Cyclone software package to be productive, you probably wouldn't use all of the features anyway. You can look at th...

Hi! Yes, you can put software on TPS as-well as it is an open Windows platform. You can choose from SurvCE, X-PAD and FieldGenius, maybe something els...

If you're willing to look at other brands too, ask for a quote for Leica TS60 - though it's not significant, you would get a bit better EDM accuracy.
