What Archaeologists Say About Eos

Jim Casey

“My favorite feature of the Arrow GNSS receivers is the fact that it works so easily — it is both fast and accurate. Connecting the Arrow Gold to my iPad via Bluetooth and using ArcGIS Collector is such a simple setup. Training a new user to use an Arrow Gold couldn’t be much easier.”
