Latest updates to TOTAL for Android™

With this update, TOTAL for Android is now an a la mode labs graduate!

More importantly, you can now pair your Bluetooth-enabled DISTO with TOTAL for Android. That way, as you get measurements from your measurer, they will flow into your sketch. You’ll boost accuracy and save time.

Simply follow the pairing instructions for your device. Then choose Menu -> Connect a DISTO to connect. (See detailed instructions.) And if you don’t have a Leica DISTO, check out the 330i and the D8 models.

Note: not all Android devices are Bluetooth enabled. Please check with your hardware manufacturer to determine if your device is Bluetooth enabled.

Get the rest of the details below, including past updates, and keep your suggestions coming.
