How to choose trusted GNSS and Total Stations

  • Precision, reliability, and support that make the difference

In the world of surveying, engineering, and geospatial mapping, the equipment you choose is more than just a tool—it’s the foundation of every decision, every plan, and every result. Whether you’re working on topographic surveys, construction layouts, or cadastral mapping, having a trusted GNSS receiver or Total Station means more than just accurate data—it means confidence in every step of your workflow.

At HLCM, we believe that trust begins with choosing the right equipment. Backed by leading brands like Trimble and Spectra Precision, our solutions are designed to provide real results where precision and dependability matter most.

What makes a GNSS or total station truly “trusted”?

With so many options on the market, it can be challenging to determine which solution best meets your project’s needs. Here are the essential factors to consider when choosing GNSS systems or Total Stations:

Field-proven accuracy and performance

When your data is the backbone of decision-making, accuracy is non-negotiable. Look for GNSS receivers and Total Stations that offer:

  • Centimeter-level precision

  • Strong satellite tracking (even in difficult environments)

  • Advanced optical or EDM technology for distance and angle measurements

  • Trimble’s R980 GNSS and Spectra SP100 provide high performance under diverse field conditions—proven in hundreds of real-world projects.

Ease of use and integration

Professionals require equipment that adapts to their workflow—not the other way around. Trusted tools are:

  • Easy to deploy and configure

  • Compatible with Trimble Access, Trimble Business Center, and more

  • Built for field-to-office integration, reducing time and errors

The Trimble C5 Total Station and DA2 GNSS receiver are known for their intuitive interfaces and seamless software compatibility.

Durability in harsh environments

Surveying doesn’t always happen under perfect conditions. That’s why it’s crucial to choose instruments that are:

  • Weather-resistant and rugged

  • Designed for long field sessions

  • Supported with reliable transport cases and mounting accessories

HLCM equips its kits with carbon fiber tripods, reinforced backpacks, and all-weather accessories to keep your tools secure.

Support and training you can count on

Even the best equipment is only as good as the support behind it. Look for a provider that offers:

  • Expert technical support and warranties

  • Hands-on training for your team

  • Access to updates, maintenance, and system optimization

At HLCM, we don’t just provide equipment—we offer partnerships. From setup to advanced training, our specialists ensure your team gets the most out of your investment.
