- Ken,
-
- 1. What are your applications?
- 2. What accuracy are you interested? (2-5 meter, 30-100 m, 1-2 cm, etc)
-
- We have experimented with Trimble Pathfinder Community Base Station with
- a Basic + and have had very good results. If someone in your area has a base
- station you may not want one. Check with EPA, Coast Guard, Forest Service,
- BLM, etc. if you are interested.
