GMS-2 Certified for European Area Measurement29/07/2008 |
| During a recent workshop held by the Joint Research Centre of the European Union, it was discussed that member states will have to use certified GPS equipment for field measurements. With these rules the people who will do the spot checking as a basis for governmental grants are using proved tools. Topcon (The Netherlands) has announced the certification of the GMS-2. |

There are 4 test categories: Category A with buffer size < 0.40 m Suitable for area measurements of parcels
Category B with buffer size < 1.25 m Suitable for area measurements of parcels
Category C with buffer size < 1.50 m Suitable for area measurements of parcels
Category D with buffer size > 1.50 m Suitable for area measurements of parcels
The GMS-2 was tested with GPS and GLONASS measurements in autonomous mode without correction data and reached Category B. This means that even with the lowest resolution the GMS-2 is suited for area measurements. Topcon incorporated its dual-constellation satellite tracking into a small hand-held GNSS receiver, the GMS-2. An integrated electronic compass and digital camera powered by Topcon's imaging technology are also included.
