What are the occupation times for ProMark3 compared to ProMark2?
ProMark3 takes advantage of a new powerful receiver GPS engine to collect high quality GPS data and a new post-processing engine to reduce occupation time up to 33 percent! This is the Magellan Prism technology. Occupation time is highly dependent on the number of tracked satellites and their respective position (called PDOP or Position Dilution of Precision). Occupation time difference between ProMak2 and ProMark3 will vary, but to your advantage: The worse the satellite constellation, the more the Prism technology will help you reduce your occupation time. This means that you will spend less time on the field collecting data and will be able to perform survey jobs in difficult tracking conditions.
