first three digits of these values is then displayed.
The reason the last six digits are shown before the first three digits is that, in most cases, the first three digits of
your coordinates will not change during the course of a survey. By showing the last six on the initial screen, you
can drive from location to location and write down values without having to press a key on the RAC.
In addition to showing the GPS coordinates on the display, the RAC Plus III can also be used to store the data in
internal memory for download to the WinRAC Plus software. This provides a quick and efficient method of
getting GPS data at multiple locations without having to stop the vehicle.
