Good point Nate and I was going to follow up with this issue, which I think is separate from what we were discussing above concerning Hybrid RTK with multiple rovers. If multiple rovers are run on a job, there is a need for integration between rovers and a central computer or server. Knowing the Javad Team, this is probably being worked on already, but that is speculation on my part.
Team Javad: If the rovers all have internet connections, how hard would it be for multiple rovers to talk to each other and a server or online computer in real time? That would provide integration between multiple rovers and a computer in the office.
For example, let's say Nate and I have partnered up and are completing a large topo with two LS units. It would be very handy to be able to see Nate's points appear on my unit and map view in real time or near real time (and vice versa) so that we don't trip over each other out there. I would be able to see that Nate had already located that stream so I don't need to, but I could see that we do have a gap in ground shots in the woods. It would also let me know that Nate has already collected 1000 points by lunchtime and I need to get my butt in gear!
Seriously though, through RAMS which is AMAZING, we already have the capability to look at each others rover, but not in the LS. Is real time communication between LS rovers a huge undertaking?
Thoughts, comments, feedback?
Thanks!
