- Have some old family land maps from your genealogy searches? Plot them using measurements such as rods, chains and spans.
- Realtors can use this application to quickly show potential buyers what a piece of property looks like.

Stakemill now stocks both Survey Grade L1 External Antennas and Vehicle Navigation Antennas for Magellan MobileMapper 6 Units. Looking to run FastSurvey or do Post Processing, then consider the Antcom externall antennas we have that are preconfigured to work with Magellan Mobile Mapper 6 units, the L1 antenna requires a cable and pole to work, the Vehicle Navigation will mount to a vehicle with a metal roof or works with a simple ball cap and saftey pin. Both antennas plug directly into the MobileMapper 6 with no adapters, the L1 cable screws into the TNC plug on antenna wherwe the vehicle navigation is molded in. Either way, they are both improvements over the built in antennas when doing precision work that requires greater accuracey.
