Looking to replace my old Leica TS06+, how accurate are gps based total stations?
I’ve only ever worked directly for an incredibly old school residential construction firm. the previous/office based SE was still using an 90s casio handheld computer (that cost a small fortune as only one shop in austrailia still bothered to program them) so while it was helpful getting a solid grasp on the fundamentals, I’ve had to teach myself the ins and outs of total stations (beyond just using it to swing angles) myself.
so how much of an error would you expect on a GPS based total station? I get very little exposure to the industry as the only other people in this line of work i’ve met are retired or work exclusively at setting out for piling contractors. Are these sort of things suitable for residential construction setting out? I’m using a two man kit on my own right now, and i’m at least insisting on that changing to a one man robotic kit, as so much time is lost on me walking back and fourth moving prisms.
