We recommend purchasing it on Amazon or BestBuy. Protection Plan Options The MobileMapper 6 includes a standard 12-month manufacturer's warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. This standard warranty covers normal product failures, but it typically does not cover accidental field damage, such as drops, impacts, cracked screens, or no-fault jobsite accidents. For crews using the MobileMapper 6 daily in survey, GIS, and construction environments, an optional protection plan provides added coverage beyond the standard warranty. These plans are designed to help protect the hardware from unexpected field damage and reduce downtime if the data collector is accidentally dropped or damaged during normal use. Available protection options include: TP-DC-STK – Hardware protection for TDC6 / MobileMapper 6 data collector, 12-month term TP-DC-1M-STK – Hardware protection for TDC6 / MobileMapper 6 data collector, monthly 12-month term ADTP-DC-STK – Trimble Protected Premium hardware coverage for TDC6 / MobileMapper 6 handheld, 3-year term The 12-month option is a good choice for annual coverage, while the 3-year Trimble Protected Premium plan is best for customers who want longer-term protection from the start Built for Modern Spectra Geospatial Workflows The Spectra Geospatial MobileMapper 6 is a strong choice for crews who want a rugged Android data collector with modern performance, 5G connectivity, Origin software compatibility, and flexible mounting options. Whether paired with Spectra GNSS receivers or used for GIS and mapping applications, it provides a dependable handheld platform for productive field work.
