Total Stations - NPL-322 – by Nikon Geo-matching .com is a great website that features a variety of the latest equipment used in the geomatics sector, including total stations. This online service is a great way that allows users to compare various geomatics related product and read other reviews from actual people in the Geospatial sector in order to help them make a well balanced purchase decision.

Total Stations - S8  - by Trimble
Geo-matching is a product comparison style website for geomatics related devices and provides users with good overviews of Total Stations, UAVs, GNSS Receivers, and other hardware used in the industry. The total-station category now features, the GTS340Rs, RTS 330, NPL-332, FOCUS 35, KTS-470C, R10, and Pentax W-1500N.

Geo-matching also compares products such as digital cameras, LiDAR equipment, laser scanners, photogrammetric workstations and image processing software. If you have used any of these geomatics related products then you should consider visiting the site and sharing your experiences with total stations, so others in the geomatics community can benefit from your input.

Total Stations - Total Station Basics
The top total stations viewed in February from the geomatics community on Geo-matching.com were:

  1. S8 by Trimble
  2. DS Series by Topcon
  3. NPL-322 by Nikon
  4. Pentax W800 Series by TI Asahi
  5. KTS-580 R Series by Kolida

It is interesting to note that Trimble views increased since the last time we posted the Geo-matching rankings, climbing to the top of the list and Leica dropped out of the top 5 all together. Personally we have always used Leica total stations

Keep in mind this top 5 list is based on website views, therefore you should really go to Geo-matching.com yourself, read the available material and user reviews; then decide for yourself which total station is best for you.
