GeoExplorer 6000 with Shadow-reduction

The Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 series handhelds are purpose-built for high-accuracy data collection and integrate a range of new features such as including a dual-frequency GPS and GLONASS receiver and antenna, 5-megapixel camera and 3.5G data modem. The handheld's large sunlight-readable display, field-swappable battery, and powerful processor are designed to meet the daily challenges of demanding Geographic Information System (GIS) workflows.

The GeoExplorer 6000 series GeoXH handheld achieves decimetre (4 inch) accuracy in real time, and the GeoXT handheld provides reliable 75cm (30 inch) accuracy in real time and 50cm (20 inch) accuracy after post processing. Both handheld GNSS receivers are supported by Trimble's range of Mapping & GIS software enabling straightforward receiver configuration, seamless data flow and complete back-office processing capability. Floodlight technology comes standard on the GeoXH and is available as an option for the GeoXT version.

Buildings and trees can cause satellite shadow and limit the environments where high-accuracy GNSS data collection can be performed. The unique Trimble Floodlight technology combines a range of innovative techniques to increase the availability of positions and boost accuracy in areas affected by satellite shadow.

With a built-in 5-megapixel autofocus camera, field workers can easily include digital photos in GIS workflows. No extra devices, batteries, or file transfers are required, and images are automatically geotagged. The camera can be accessed directly from Trimble TerraSync software and other third-party applications, so linking images to GIS features can be performed in the field at time of data capture-to record the qualitative details of assets or for in-field quality assurance.

Built-in Wi-Fi and an optional 3.5G cellular modem deliver Internet connectivity to the field and facilitate continuous access to real-time map data, VRS network corrections, and live updates of field information while on location. Field workers can remain in contact with the office and with each other, even from remote jobsites where wireless access is available.
