can be utilized for all Surveying tasks. Use TopSURV to
measure and capture rich survey data sets with all types of
Topcon sensors.
• Field Tools for ArcPad – field data collection software used on a

store. When inserted into the GRS-1, an SD card provides additional
data storage, as well as data transfer. The GRS-1 supports SD cards
with up to 2 GB capacity. This device does not currently support
