It has taken a while, but we finally managed to get our hands on a set of #Trimble #R12i receivers and put them head to head with the @HemisphereGNSS
#S631.

The results might surprise you!

“From wooded boundaries to busy commercial sites, the S631 performs flawlessly. The tilt feature is a game- changer - locking fast and staying accurate even when the terrain isn’t easy. It keeps us moving, no matter what Kentucky throws at us.”

SLAM + RTK in one workflow. We used the LiGrip O2 Lite to capture a 3D point cloud under a bridge—where GNSS can’t fix—then brought it back to the office for measurements, inspections, GIS, and volumes. 5 minutes in the field vs hours with a total station.

Network rover issues? Kayla covers quick fixes: check internet/cell, confirm address+port, re-check username/password (no extra spaces), reset the receiver, and switch mount points if you’re connected but not fixing. Need help? Call Benchmark.

As with all GPS, there are situations where a total station is required, but the S631 has greatly reduced that need.”

Surveying under canopy? 🌲 The @HemisphereGNSS S631 is saving crews serious time by reducing how often they need a total station in the woods. See what our surveyor of the month Joel had to say about the S631!

[Bench Mark Equipment & Supplies Inc. @bmequip]

The S631 works so well under canopy that is has become our primary instrument. Redundant measurements correlate well, and the time savings resulting from not needing a total station in the woods are huge.

FieldGenius 3.2 is out 🚀

TS upgrades (angle/distance offsets, new stakeout + continuous measurement) + GNSS improvements (alignment staking, StormCaster base setup, reset RTK filters) + new point storing/snapping.

Surveyor of the Month: Elanor and Celine!
Our S631 RTK and Mesa tablet performed to in the testing field conditions above 80˚N at Fort Conger in Canada’s arctic. Surveying the coastline with the S631 rover while watching a pod of narwhal feeding in the bay is a career highlight.

Stake out faster, bill more. 💸

Rene shows how RTK + tilt + Stake Nearest Point lets you jump to the closest point, walk straight to it, and save with one tap – perfect for per-point solar + construction layout.

Still mapping with tablet GPS alone? Nolan shows how 1–3 m of drift can make valves, hydrants & poles impossible to relocate—and how a sub-meter GNSS antenna fixes it with repeatable accuracy.

New to the Hemisphere S631?

Kayla breaks down the proper shutdown sequence step-by-step — including the essential double-tap on the power button.

Less guessing, more surveying.

Lasers need line of sight. Jobsites don’t cooperate.

Switching to GPS = ~70% faster.
ROI: 14 hrs/week × $50/hr × 50 weeks = $35k − ~$10k gear ≈ $25k Year 1.

Localization turns “close enough” into correct. Import control → measure GNSS control → apply transform → survey with confidence. #Surveying #RTK #GNSS #Localization

“First time surveying and she took to the @hemispheregnss #S631 like a fish to water. Had to pry it away!”

RTK only works as well as your base setup. Average vs Known, when to localize, and why Day-2 should be Known.

Survey gear stolen?
1. File a police report
2. Notify insurance
3. Alert your network (+ modest reward)
4. Keep working (borrow/rent/old instrument)
5. Harden security (cameras, locked storage, AirTags, don’t leave trucks unlocked)
