Compare the lineup
2D, 2.5D or 3D?Your plans decide.
The honest breakdown — answer three questions and the table lights up your match. Every column is the manufacturer's published line, no sales spin.
The chooser
Three questions.
Answer as a yes or no — we'll land you on the right system and highlight its column below.
Question 1 of 3
Do your jobs hand you design models — DWG, DXF or LandXML?
| System | 2D tierMCNAV TX73 | 2.5DEasyNAV EMG100 | 3DMCNAV TX73 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guidance | Depth & slope vs a laser or benchmark | Depth & slope from a field reference | Full 3D model in the cab |
| Positioning | None — works off the reference | Dual GNSS — knows where it sits | Dual GNSS + 100 Hz IMU |
| Design files | Not used | Not required — field-defined | DWG · DXF · LandXML · .jxl/.cal |
| Accuracy | True to your reference | ±30 mm | 10 mm H / 15 mm V |
| Display | 10.1" MCPad300 (same hardware) | 10.1" · 1024×600 | 10.1" · 1920×1200 · Android 14 |
| Cloud | OTA updates, same display | — | iSite cloud · OTA · remote support |
| Attachments | Tilt buckets (tilt sensor + licence) | Tilt buckets · swing/triple/offset booms | + Engcon & Steelwrist tilt-rotators |
| Upgrade path | Full 3D any time — hire or buy | Ask us about options | Already there |
| Best for | Drains with fall, pads to level, batters | Trenching, utilities, slope trimming | Roads, foundations, mass excavation |
At a glance
Three ways to run grade.
MCNAV TX73
2D tier
Cheapest entry — same hardware as 3D.
- Depth & slope vs benchmark
- Single & dual grade
- Upgrades to 3D any time
EasyNAV EMG100
2.5D
For big sites that lose the laser.
- ±30 mm with dual GNSS
- Installed in under 2 hours
- No design files needed
MCNAV TX73
3D
The full drawing, live in the cab.
- 10 mm H · 15 mm V
- Runs LandXML, DWG, DXF
- Cut/fill maps & as-built
The safety net
Still torn? Start 2D.
It's the same TX73 hardware as full 3D — benchmark-led depth and slope today, hire or unlock the 3D tier the day your jobs hand you models.
