Need GPS recommendations

[ludacr1s]

I was just wondering if you guys have any GPS recommendations worth less than $1,500. That's my budget. I am an architect and believe I need this tool but I want the best as I can't afford losing money on trial and error. What's the cost range if I can't anything within this range? Need it for survey.

Emlid Reach RS+ is a good one for your budget, it's decent for basic survey work. If you need higher precision, like RTK, thats about $2k - $5k. Used ones are an option too if you have the patience

For under $1,500, you're kinda stuck in that awkward middle ground, too much for entry-level junk, not enough for the pro-grade gear most surveyors trust. Makes you wonder if renting's actually smarter.

To be honest, no professional-grade GPS worth using for survey work should cost under $1,500, thinking otherwise is how you waste money. If your budget's that tight, you're better off hiring surveyors than risking critical errors with cheap gear

That budget is a bit tough but I agree with @Kyedae_02's suggestion.
Emlid Reach RS+ might be your best option for centimeter-level precision.
For entry-level professional survey equipment, you should expect to pay around $2,000 to $5,000.
