I have a demo unit that I'm trying out and have many misc. questions that an experienced user should be able to answer easily so I'll just post them all at once instead of many topics:
1. What is the best way to inverse between two points? Say I just want to know the bearing & distance between point #100 and #105.
2. I am constantly getting an interference warning on my unit. It doesn't matter if I'm in the parking lot, or a mile into the forest away from all electricity. Is there anything specific that causes this? I goes away sometimes even if I don't move it - in other words, it comes and goes seemingly at random.
3. When staking out a point/line, can I switch the display deltas to north/east, rather than left/right/ahead/back?
4. Can I use DPOS when running the rover off of RTN, or do I need to be connected to my own local base?
5. The wireless hotspot I use (Verizon) has a SIM card in it - can I swap this into one of the SIM card slots on the LS for RTN corrections?
6. Is there a feature in COGO to proportion a point on a line? It would be nice to punch in the original GLO chainage and have it compute the corners along a line.
7. Is there a need for any kind of office software (similar to Trimble Business Center) that I can use to visually QC/QA my points, or do the internally generated reports serve that purpose?
8. How is it possible for this unit to perform as well as a Trimble R10, yet cost half as much - especially when you figure in the cost of the controller. I am loving this unit would love to buy it instead of an R10, but I keep asking myself "what's the catch?"
Many questions - thanks for your time.
