Installing Pocket-3D

Welcome to Pocket-3D™, the software contractors use to build job 
files, check cuts and fills, layout points, and survey all or part of a 
jobsite. This software comes on a CD and is ready to install on a 
hand-held controller—such as, the Topcon FC-236™, GRS-1, or the 
FC-250—and is only available as part of the 3DMC Bundle from 
Topcon™ dealers.

Figure 1-1. Pocket-3D on Controller (Topcon’s FC-236) 

NOTE:

 Pocket-3D now runs on FC25 and FC2500 controllers.
