What Is A Surveying Data Collector?

A surveying data collector is considered an "electronic field book" that records and calculates points in the field. These data collectors work with GPS GNSS Receivers, robotic and manual total stations, and digital levels. The data collector electronically captures and logs spatial information and coordinate data in the field, which is then downloaded to your office software platform or CAD program for processing.

What Are The Different Types Of Data Collectors?

As surveying continues growing and advancing the data collectors need to keep getting better and better. These data collectors AKA "electronic fieldbooks" come in various styles and sizes. All data collectors are handheld, but some come with a complete handheld keyboard and stylus attached. Meanwhile other data collectors come completely touchscreen as that is the new technology that is advancing. Most data collectors run on windows, but as technology advances the data collectors are moving to android softwares to make jobs much easier for surveyors. There isn't one certain data collector that is the best, it is all based on the software you use and what feels most comfortable for you as a surveyor.
