Laser Technology, maker of the IMPULSE laser, introduces the MapStar Compass Module. More than just an electronic compass, the MapStar CM brings a host of new advances to azimuth measurement.

Small, lightweight, and rugged. The MapStar is built to survive in any environment: just like the Impulse.

Modular design. The physical layout and data format of the MapStar interface with all Impulse models. Or, the unit can operate independently when needed.

Accuracy. Leading edge controller boards, intelligent processing algorithms, and auto-compensators for field temperature and pitch/roll, enable the MapStar CM to achieve world leading performance in azimuth accuracy.

Calibration. Simple field procedures allow you to calibrate on site, effectively adapting to changing magnetic environments.

Integration. MapStar is designed to work seamlessly with data collectors, GPS equipment, and other mapping hardware/software solutions. Accessories such as GPS antenna mounts, cable management, and carry packs make the MapStar as ergonomically friendly as it is functional.

Developed for LTI lasers, by LTI engineers, the MapStar CM is simply the best performing compass for laser-based survey and mapping applications. No matter what your application is, adding this module to the Impulse points your measurements in a whole new direction!
