I would not recommend it for outdoor use. The latter might be usable. Fine but quite expensive SOLO Field software has nice user interface for rangefinders. There may be a demo available at http://www.tdsway.com/products/solo_field. GPS and rangefinder is a fine combination when surveying under canopy. Why not also for mapping buildings in street canyons. GPS measument is taken where satellite fix is OK and the rest is corrected by a rangefinder. Professional rangefinders have also electronic compass for giving the direction of correction. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] mapping hardware, laser rangefinder
Hello. I like mapping and I like gadgets (that's why I like mapping ;) I am considering purchase of a laser range finder. I think a cheap one like these http://www.stanleytools.com/default.asp?TYPE=PRODUCTPARTNUMBER=77-018 http://www.bosch.de/start/content/language2/html/734_6098.htm would suffice. Have you got any experience with such devices? Is there any particular feature to care about? -- Było mi bardzo miło. Czwarta pospolita klęska, [...] Łukasz Już nie katolicka lecz złodziejska.

They need a flatish surface to bounce back off. Is this what your thinking of doing? Try a GPS (Garmin stc) unit to record external information. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
