That will be the 1200 then
Good answer Kevin. and good luck with QGIS... it is pretty easy. and has loads of plugins as well.
now up to Version 1.6
I agree that anyone can survey.. Which is why, before I go to the button pressing stage. (the easy bit) we go over angles, and geometry based survey. Understand the concept, then you can survey with tech equipment. Accuracy for me is (for field Survey ) ( 1m ---- 5m -------- 10m or Area point.. with boundary polygon )
If you are suggesting that people need to understand the basics first, understand what they need to do and how to do it. Be able to use a station or a GPS SmartRover 1200 be able to use software from onboard data loggers to Penmap or Cartagoo. ( there is another one for ya!) Then that takes time and training.. and yes... that is good.
I have in the past had to correct a massive survey in Jordan... if only the original 'surveyor' had closed the traverse and conducted daily reference checks. :face-crying:
So yes, as a member of the Association of Archaeological Illustrators and Surveyors , I and many others can be as accurate as is required, as flexible as needed, pinpoint geo-referenced or internal grid tastic.
