Lee, I don't mind selling the instrument without the GPS system but I want to sell it as a complete kit otherwise. So that would include the following...
If horizontal accuracy is not an issue, we have used 25' level poles with a Topcon prism on top for getting ground shots in dense woods. This works gr...
I forgot about the issue that happens with the controller locking up sometimes and will only respond with the power cord. The guys have started taking...

Thats what we do is use Lizardtech Geoviewer to bring in Sid files and then convert them to .tiff files. The nice thing is it holds the state plane co...
Good to hear that others are not dealing with what we did. Very glad your 505 is working well for you also. Perhaps its like getting a lemon of a car ...
