shrug-l: Juno and Garmin

[Jim Robeson]

The Juno is not as rugged or water tight as the geo XH.  The Geo XH is a
fairly high end Mapping GPS with a cost over $5,000.   The Juno is very cost
effective with a 3 MP camera and the ability to run TerraSync or ArcPad.
With application software you gain the ability to display background data as
well as create features with attributes.   As for the Juno's ability to take
a drop, the Otter Box case that is custom built for it will not take an
immersion but will greatly improve the shock absorption.  My opinion, the
Juno with the Otter Box will take a drop better then the Geo XH without such
a case.

Riffing off the Juno thread-

Our organization has been looking for small light weight "emergency" or stop
gap instruments for archaeological survey-situations when we don't want to,
or can't use the Trimble. I was told by a dealer that Juno is not as shock
resistant etc. as the GEO XH. ie you need to treat it like a cell phone. We
don't go throwing our instruments around but odd things occasionally happen,
and for our purposes I wonder if a Garmin device at less cost would fit the
bill-obviously the precision isn't the same. Does anyone out there use a
Garmin professionally and are you able to export point data, (or more than
point data) in a from that can eventually end up being a dbf4 or shape file.
If so, can you specify projection in the export?
