A 4.0" color touch screen shows your points on a map, a red and yellow guide light speeds up stakeout, and one battery runs about 20 hours. Benefits 1" angles and 1 mm + 1 ppm distances for control and boundary work. See points and lines on a map instead of a six-line list. Faster stakeout with the guide light, visible up to 200 m. A full field day on one battery, two batteries in the case. Applications Control networks and traverses Boundary and cadastral surveys Topographic surveys Construction stakeout Deformation checks
