Mag X GEO HDD Locating System with GPS — Available at Universal HDD Company
The Mag X GEO HDD locating system represents the most advanced locating technology available from Underground Magnetics, now offered through Universal HDD Company — an authorized dealer serving directional drilling contractors across the United States. Designed for HDD crews working on utility installation, telecommunications infrastructure, pipeline construction, and municipal projects, the Mag X GEO delivers professional-grade GPS locating performance in a field-ready package built for real jobsite demands.
Unlike conventional HDD locating systems, the Mag X GEO integrates RTK-enabled GPS technology directly into the locating workflow — providing centimeter-level accuracy for bore path tracking, utility documentation, and project reporting. Contractors performing horizontal directional drilling in urban environments, highway crossings, river crossings, and congested utility corridors rely on GPS-guided locating to maintain accuracy, reduce re-drills, and meet documentation requirements from project owners and municipalities.
The system's 7-inch color touchscreen drill display delivers real-time depth, pitch, roll, and GPS position data directly at the rig, eliminating communication delays between the locator operator and the drill operator. Automated rod-by-rod data logging captures every measurement throughout the bore, creating a complete and accurate record without manual input. Bore reports are generated and shared directly from the receiver, with data syncing to the UMmaps cloud portal for project management and client reporting.
With Bore-To Steering, GPS Dropline, and Pitch Guide tools integrated into the system, HDD operators have the guidance resources to maintain bore direction, control grade, and align precisely with target entry and exit points. Multiple real-time viewing modes — including Overhead Aerial View, Side Profile Chart View, and Rod Table View — give crews the visual context to make fast, accurate decisions at every stage of the bore.
The Mag X GEO is compatible with ARMOR VTX transmitter configurations across a range of bore depths and soil conditions, making it a versatile solution for contractors working on small-diameter utility bores through large-scale infrastructure projects.
