Older Trimble 5800 or R6
I survey for myself on the weekends and evenings. I don’t survey every weekend and evening because I love my kids and family, so it’s not feasible to purchase new GPS equipment. If I had an older GPS that I could set up on an assumed point and run a base/rover setup using GPS bearings to help increase production, it could really help me a lot to be more productive. I’m also open to Glonass capability. My question is, would a dual Trimble 5800 setup allow me to set up on an assumed point (10000, 10000) and run good GPS bearing from there? How is the signal in light canopy with this setup? Are they generally pretty reliable? Also, an R6 unit is more money, but has Glonass capability. In Mississippi, we have a statewide network that is free that does pretty well. I haven’t used Trimble much, but can you get the data out of a TS2 or TS3 data collector via usb without using Penmap or a subscription based app? Thank you, just weighing options.
