Want a new Ranger?
The Ranger offers built-in wireless capabilities and Windows Mobile 5.0. Going the distance, the Ranger's battery supplies over 30 hours of continuous use per charge and has the ability to recharge to 80% in about two hours. The non-volatile storage system keeps your data secure. You have a choice of the Ranger 300X with Bluetooth, Ranger 500X with Bluetooth and optional 802.11g, or the Ranger NX. As always, the TDS Ranger demonstrates superior performance under the most demanding conditions - extreme temperatures, driving rain, dust, punishing bumps and drops.

Want a new Nomad?
The new TDS Nomad is a full-featured data collector with an 806 MHz processor, a long-life battery and integrated wireless capabilities. The Nomad features a high-resolution, sunlight-visible, full VGA display that shows graphics and maps in crisp detail. Three models provide options to meet all your surveying needs. The Nomad 800B with Bluetooth has CompactFlash (CF) and a Secure Digital (SD) slot. The Nomad 800 LD features Bluetooth, 802.11g, GPS and a USB port in place of the CF slot. The Nomad 800LC gives you a built-in 2 MP camera in addition to Bluetooth, 802.11g and GPS.

Want Survey Pro software?
The best way to run Survey Pro is on a TDS data collector. Four levels of Survey Pro software qualify for this promotion: Survey Pro, Survey Pro GPS, Survey Pro Robotics and Survey Pro Max. Survey Pro software on the TDS Nomad or Ranger gives you the best of all worlds-field data collection with traverse, side shot, coordinate geometry, staking and adjustment routines. Survey Pro's many features allow you to work with reflectorless total stations, generate digital terrain models, collect attribute data and organize your work as you go.
