Two years ago, we went with the Arrow 100®, and it’s much more accurate than the Garmin. Now, we are sure we will get back to the same tree — at the same exact spot.

With the Arrow 100®, I can normally say that a property marker is here within a foot. It’s incredibly accurate. With the Arrow 200® / Arrow Gold® and RTK network, I get two centimeters or closer than that.
Well we have received the Arrow 200® unit. It is awesome! It’s the easiest to configure GPS receiver that I’ve used in my 20+ years of GPS data collection.
The hardware savings are enormous with the new GPS kit at less than $10,000, compared to the old kit, which was over $70,000. But the ongoing reduction of labor costs is even more valuable over time.
The thing I enjoy about the Arrow Gold® is that it’s very rugged, because I’m out in the field a lot. It’s easy to put together, easy to hook up, and easy to understand. And it works really well. I’m using the Arrow Gold® just like the surveyors would.
We looked at all the equipment and software out there, and the Arrow 100® had the best ratings under trees. We determined that it was the best GNSS receiver available, with the best performance, that fit our budget.
