Ratings and reviews

No one does GPS as well for some gear though there are some up and coming developers. I really thought this would be the new standard; however, they have an edge due to industry apathy. The app isn't as great as it appeared at first glance. The data isn't granular or easily manipulated. It's perfect for point collecting with equipment with some unfinished bells and whistles. They will dominate like most for being first on the scene but their sales team didn't impress. They were in their own way.

Upon installing the app, it informed me that it was only a 14 day trial. Not interested in using the app if I will become unable to do so in 2 weeks time. The description in the store was unclear about this, would have appreciated a more explicit declaration that the app was just a trial.

JUST RECEIVED THE RS2 SATURDAY. (9-12-2020) SUPER FAST FIXES. WELL WORTH THE MONEY. I AM USING POINTMAN SOFTWARE WITH THE RS2 (WHICH REQUIRES THE REACH APP TO SET UP AND OPERATE) TO DESIGN UTILITY LAYOUTS, COLLECT UTILITY LOCATION DATA AND TO STAKE OUT UTILITIES AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN COLLECTED. THE NEW RS2 WILL MAKE THIS PROCESS A LOT FASTER AND MORE EFFICIENT. I WAS USING THE RS+ BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE A LOT BETTER NOT HAVING TO WAIT AS LONG FOR A FIX THAT WILL ALLOW SUB CENTIMETER GPS DATA COLLECTION.THE REALLY COOL THING IS IF YOU LOOSE YOUR FIX IT LITERALLY ONLY TAKES SECONDS TO REAQUIRE.
