"Nikon Nivo or NPL is the cheapest way in. NPL has a lock for your horizontal and vertical motion and Nivo has a robot style fine adjustment with no lock. If you don't mind used, I've seen topcons for pretty cheap on eBay."

Ronnie Van Huss, PLS replied to Ian harvey's discussion Advise on an entry level reflectorless total station"If you go to the instrument setup in Survey Pro, it will tell you what guns are supported. Google the specs on each gun and see which have the reflectorless capabilities you are after. Hope this helps."
ROB ROSA replied to Ian harvey's discussion Advise on an entry level reflectorless total station"Topcon. Older GPT 3000. The new Topcon is garbage. Nikon is your best bang for the buck...NPL series."

Thanks"

Paul Williams replied to Ian harvey's discussion Which Coordinate setting for UK - Trimble TSC3"Hi Ian, never rely on the os mapping... It's great for general use but in places it can be a couple of meters out.
It's partly responsible for all the boundary surveys that we get involved with!"
Sibgatullah ahamd najar replied to Ian harvey's discussion Which Coordinate setting for UK - Trimble TSC3"Check whether coordinate system is wgs84.
And also use trimble business centre"
Jon replied to Ian harvey's discussion Which Coordinate setting for UK - Trimble TSC3"It could be that the master map is wrong. Almost looks to close to be your settings."
