[Hvcatskillcewg] Terra sync vs ArcPad

[David Diaz]

We have the GEOXT as well but use ArcPad.  Once you learn how to use it, it
seems to work well too but we'd be interested in learning about Terra Sync
Pro Pathfinder.

Raphael,

 

I have a Trimble GeoXT and I use Terra Sync Pro Pathfinder software and it
seems to work fine and has a function which exports the data as a shapefile
to use in ArcGIS.  I have not used ArcPad though.

Greetings,

 

I am starting a stewardship position with Winnakee Land Trust. I am
currently gathering some information concerning equipment as we are looking
into acquiring a GPS unit. I would appreciate some advices concerning GIS
software. 

 

We are about to buy a Trimble GeoXT with a Geo-Beacon receiver. But to go
with it, Trimble recommends the Terra sync Pro Pathfinder office software
while ESRI pushes me toward ArcPad within their Geo-collector Submeter
package. The price difference is not very significant; I am most interested
in the functionality and ease to use. (FYI, we use ArcGis 9).

 

What would you recommend for easement monitoring? 

Do these two options actually provide the same services?

I would welcome any other comments on this equipment.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Raphael Notin
