Description
Software:
Leica’s iCon software is one of the most robust and feature-laden in the construction industry.
Pros: Uses many standard file types. It is easier to use than many others with advanced user features (applicable to a small percentage of users).
Cons: It includes many features that average users don’t require, making navigating much harder. It has very limited file type compatibility with other brands.
Controller:
The Panasonic Toughpad may be the most popular in the industry due to its rugged specs and the popularity of Windows.
Pros: If you demand Windows, it’s debatably the industry leader.
Cons: Expensive. Long wait times for service (in most cases, it needs to be sent back from the distributor to the GPS manufacturer, then to Panasonic) and subject to standard Windows issues. Batteries and chargers are expensive.
iCG70:
Leica’s lighter weight & size (compared to the iCG60), a more budget-friendly offering without tilt capabilities (compared to the iCG70T).
Pros: Lighter than iCG60 and less expensive than iCG70T. Additional constellations can be added.
Cons: Tilt and radio can’t be added after initial purchase (not modular)—no onboard interface. Batteries and chargers are expensive.
iCG60:
One of the most robust antennas to ever hit the market. This one was cutting edge when released and for many years to follow.
Pros: Additional constellations can be added. Onboard screen and menus. Feature laden. Field switchable radios. Capable of light machine control applications.
Cons: No tilt. Massive size and weight, product is discontinued, no WebUI. Batteries & Chargers are expensive.
