I wish to survey some of my land here in the US. What used GPS receivers out there might be good candidates?
All of the usual survey instrument companies have GPS widgets of one sort or another. Trimble, Topcon, etc.
However, if it's a one shot deal, just go rent the gear from a surveying equipment place. A couple hundred bucks for the week or weekend, and you're done.
I assume you're doing this for your own amusement, because there's a lot more to doing a survey than just determining the lat/lon of some points in some coordinate system.
(for one thing, the legal boundary is where the physical monuments/markers are, not where you might calculate it at.. The border between Colorado and New Mexico is quite a ways from where Congress said it should be (some parallel of latitude), because the original surveyor was drunk, and now, everyone has to live with it)
