I just bought a new data collector, an FC336 with Magnet.I have decided to go this direction because of the cloud upload capacity of the Magnet and the fact that along with Magnet comes upgrades and keeps me current.
I also chose this particular DC because of the internal modem for network.
I'm pretty jazzed about the upgrade and should have it in my hands in a day or two.
The forecast of 2014 is looking very good and I will be upgrading my GPS and purchasing a robot as well.
Now as for office software. I am still agonizing on this one as I still despise AutoCad.
I have it narrowed down between Micro Survey and the new Topcon office.
Both will have a learning curve but to be honest right now I am leaning toward the Topcon due to fact that I can simply import from the cloud, I can have my desktop connected to the DC and the points will import as the field shots are taken and it looks very simple to use as is TopSurv.
I am really like the idea of using office and field software that are made by the same company.
As the next couple of months unfold I will tell you all about it and the directions I will be going.
Peace out surveyors. Make it a great and profitable week.
