Solmetric or Pathfinder? [RE-wrenches]

I like the Sunto angle finder with the built in compass. That's my
favorite tool to use.

Hiya Dave,
I'm not too familiar with the Solmetric. I had an opportunity to check
it out recently but it didn't happen. The reason is one HUGE flaw in the
Solmetric machine. The battery was dead. The battery is built in-can't
be changed- has to be charged IN the machine. Wanna go on a site survey
with that? I don't think so.
The Pathfinder program is pretty cool, but PC only. If you use a Mac,
yer out. It also needs a few improvements like the ability to overlay
several pictures, ie, from the E and W side of the proposed array.
Best, Bob-O
