Offer makes it easy for surveyors to upgrade to more advanced Ranger with Survey Pro.

Tripod Data Systems (TDS) announced that customers can receive up to $1,150 cash back when they trade in their used data collector and purchase a TDS Ranger 200C equipped with TDS Survey Pro software before December 31, 2003.

"This promotion gives surveyors substantial savings when they upgrade to the Ranger and Survey Pro," said Bill Martin, TDS director of marketing. "When these rebates are combined with the price reduction we introduced earlier this year, the Ranger's value is better than ever. We hope that offering cash back on used data collectors will allow more surveyors to benefit from Ranger technology so they can find out for themselves why Survey Pro is the most popular surveying software available."
