Sorry, I missed the iPad portion of your email.  I am at the Maine Surveyor's conference.  I will inquire of a few of the vendors RE the ipad.

Hi All,

 

I am looking for some advice on GPS units and/or data collectors...

We are looking at needing to get accurate rim elevations and inverts on all of our manholes and pipes.  We also would like whatever device that we go with to have the ability to import this data directly into GIS without too much issue.

 

We have a fleet of iPads that we would ideally like to be able to use with the device if we can. 

 

I need something that is accurate yet easy to use.  I also have a budget of ~12k...which may be more than I need for a mapping grade GPS but not enough for a survey grade GPS.

 

Any thoughts/advice would be helpful.  I have talked to a couple of folks (Thanks Jon Giles and Jeff Normandin) but I have yet to make a decision which I really need to do soon to get this purchased this budget year...

 

Thanks!

-Jessica
