Remember when everyone said GPS dredge positioning was just a gimmick?
I ran a ladder dredge on the Ohio for years and thought my sextant and markers were fine. Then I tried a Trimble setup on a channel job in 2018 and cut my survey time by half a day every week. Anyone still running the old way, or has GPS won you over too?

Cut my survey time by half a day" is the real selling point. I held out forever with my old methods, but that kind of time saving is impossible to argue with. It just makes the whole job less of a grind.

Hold up, @jennifer69, but isn't it really more like saving a few hours? Half a day sounds huge, but a full survey shift is what, eight hours? So you're saying the new method takes four hours instead. That's still amazing, but the real win is getting home before dark, right?
