Trimble Nomad Experts

[Gluv]

Hi Guys

i have acquired a new nomad today. I have connected to wifi without any problems but when I try to then go on the net with Explorer it keeps saying "name not recognised try again " To say it's doing my head in is an understatement!

Any ideas for a quick fix?

Thanks

Hi,

Encase you have not gotten this figured out yet....I would call the guys over at Compass Tools and speak with their technical support so they can walk you through the process and ensure you get the problem figured out.

I used to run Coldbore (and FFS for a short time) on a NOMAD, until Coldbore for the Phone was released and never got to use it again, sold the old donkey a month later and never looked back. It's old, bulky, expensive, slow and outdated and to worsen the deal, the OS was left unsupported about seven years ago by Microsoft. If you really need a combat-proof unit take a look to the Panasonic.

What phone or device are you using to run coldbore?

What phone or device are you using to run coldbore?

Any Nokia Lumia or any other brands featuring the Windows Phone OS and if you are after a rugged unit, the Panasonic.

The Panasonic unit that cost $1800?

Looks like somebody never read about MIL-SPEC-810G.. and the FZE1.

The FZE1 is a solid piece of kit. Better than a Trimble because it runs on a modern windows OS and actually has other functionality.

It is a nice handset but $1,850 versus $250 for a NOMAD...not much to really consider

Thats all nice and well but you forgot one important thing. That touch screen will still fog up like a motherfucker and cause problems. BTDT
We use these pads at the scrap yard for inventory and other things, i just about tried everything.

also FZE1 works down to only -4f according to its own specifications

You know I'm not here to promote the Panasonic nor the Nomad ( I cannot care less about what people choose) but I too have BTDT and never had an issue with either in very low temp. But your experience may differ though. In any case, my whole point was about a rugged MILSPEC platform to run Coldbore since I let the Nomad part ways with me.

It's a heater when it reaches -4°F but can fully withstand MIL-SPEC-810G

 

[Petrov]

810G has over 25 different tests inside of it. "fully withstand MIL-SPEC-810G" doesnt mean anything to me unless they specify which one. Or are you telling me it can witthstand -60 degrees because you know that is also in 810G spec...
