THE REVOLUTION OF THE HEWLETT PACKARD HP49 CALCULATOR
HP49G HP49G+ HP 49 HP 49G HP 49 G+ HP-49 HP-49G HP-49G+


The HP48GX has long been the backbone of the Land Surveying, Geomatics, and Engineering Hewlett Packard 49G+ Graphing Calculatorindustries.  Land Surveyors have relied on the HP48 to run their COGO cards and total stations, engineers have relied on the HP-48 to store and run hydraulics and statics formulas, and students have craved the memory to store custom-made formulas and programs.  Now, Hewlett Packard has chosen to discontinue the HP48GX.  Why would they do such a thing?!?

I'll tell you.  It's because the HP49G+ surpasses the HP48GX in every way.  It comes equipped with a whopping 1.13Mb of on-board memory (compared to 128kb for the HP48GX), add-on slots, and much more.

The HP49G has now been discontinued, replaced by the HP49G+, much in the same way the HP48SX was replaced by the HP48GX, but you can still find them on E-Bay.  The HP49G featured less memory and no expansion slots for not that much less money, but was introduced before the HP49G+ came out.

Slowly, some software companies are starting to come out with surveying software that is compatible with the HP49G+.  The main problem is that it lacks the serial cable interface to connect to most total stations.  However, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before there is an adapter available, or total stations will start coming with USB or Bluetooth.
