We used to spend a whole day traversing with total station, turning angles, measuring distances, and cutting brush.
With Javad, I can get a WHOLE days work done in an hour. This elimination of tedious activities, has led to free time, in ways we really did not see coming.
Example is, waiting around for 3 to 10 minutes, (typical) to get a shot.
Or, setting it up on a very challenging place, and going to lunch, come back, and it's got 4 verified shots, within 0.12' of each other. Avg. These, and we are down in the few hundredths accuracy.
So, we technically did not take a lunch break. The LS let us "work through lunch" .
This drastic change in work flow, and capabilities leads to other ideas.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a full cogo suite in an android, or I-pad, or I-phone, or Victor, so that we could, in the field, download coord to the "cogo box", through bluetooth, or WiFi, and do calcs from the truck, or while at lunch, so we can more effeciently plan our next search area, or activity?
All this WHILE the LS is cooking out another shot?
For me, I use C1, C2 etc. (A prefix) to field cogo point names, to keep them separate, from coord derived via other means.
It's an idea. For now, I can download to thumb drive, and then upload to laptop, or do some limited cogo, on the LS, while its working in the background.
The LS takes the place of a well organised, high disciplined crew of 3 men. This opens up further possibilities, as we have these 3-10 minute times all day, (waiting on the LS) that could save a return trip to the job, if we had a companion to the LS, to do cogo, in a separate box.
Of course, this makes sense to me, as I'm in the field with it.
This would be very handy, if it only took a few seconds to sync this device with the LS.
I admit, I am talking about a way to save a few minutes, 10x a day, but it all adds up, at the end of the day, and that can save a return trip, several times a month, and then it becomes desirable.
Javad dreams....
