If you like an ultra rugged unit with a great numeric keyboard, you need to check out the Juniper Systems Archer 2! We liked everything about this unit 2 years ago when it was first released except that the GPS was not very accurate under canopy. This awesome handheld now has the latest Ublox GPS + Glonass chip in it and it performed great in our latest GPS test coming in at 3.3 m average error across 14 stations. Here is why we like it:
- Huge 4.3″, sunlight-readable, scratch-resistant, capacitive touch screen with Rain Mode to help in moist conditions
- IP 68 = Ultra-RUGGED
- USB Host, micro USB, and RS-232 ports for easy data transfer and external device integration
- Fast 1 GHz ARM Cortex processor
- Great Numeric Keyboard
- Industry-leading 20 Hour Battery
