Has anyone mentioned the Wiley Asset tool yet? It does come with a digital camera but that’s not what you’re paying for. It’s the snazzy machined tripod mount and the software that you’re paying for (I assume). Software could be a little more user friendly but once you get the hang of it, it does have a nice output but to print the results you have to do some sort of trickery with the “print screen” command which is dicey matter for me anyway.
In Wiley’s defense they’d probably have to charge a lot more if they made that software “all things to all people”. You do need to download the pictures to a computer to get any sort of output. I usually do this on site with my laptop to make sure I’ve got what I need before I drive off. Happy Holidays!

I have always been more tan satisfied with the Solar Pathfinder. my 2kw On Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 10:17 AM, North Texas Renewable Energy Inc <HYPERLINK "mailto:nt...@earthlink.net"nt...@earthlink.net> wrote: Wrenches, my truck was burglarized a couple of nights ago and my circa 1995 Solar Pathfinder, in the steel box, was stolen from the floor behind the drivers seat. It hasn't showed up at any pawnshops locally yet and I don't expect I will ever see it again. So it might be time to upgrade. I use the Solar Pathfinder Assistant software which produces a easy to understand graphical document. But I wanted to find what other products the Wrenches community uses and the pros and cons on those products. Since I already have a digital camera it seems redundant to invest in a device with an attached camera unless that camera can be used independently for the balance of site survey pictures.
