Leica GS18 T Smart Antenna
Engaging software
The Leica GS18 T is accompanied with the revolutionary Captivate software,
turning complex data into the most realistic and workable 3D models. With
easy-to-use apps and familiar touch technology, all forms of measured and design
data can be viewed in all dimensions. Leica Captivate spans industries and
applications with little more than a simple swipe, regardless of whether you
work with GNSS, total stations or both.
Seamlessly share data among all your instruments
Leica Infinity imports and combines data from your GNSS RTK rover, total
station and level instruments for one final and accurate result. Processing has
never been made easier when all your instruments work in tandem to produce
precise and actionable information.
