About how much money do you think you'll need to spend on a survey grade
unit? What specifically do you need it for?

I'm looking at CMT or Trimble gps equipment but am leaning toward the
CMT. The handheld units run $4-5K (and up!) for either brand. Then you
need a Coast Guard beacon reciever or have to buy a satelite subscription.
It's for mapping reference reach endpoints in a watershed analysis this
summer and then for my wetland delineation work. I could offer a
significant savings over having to bring in a surveyor.
