Enhanced Precision for GIS Data Collection

Magellan, USA, and Effigis, Canada, have entered into a partnership and reseller agreement to create a comprehensive out-of-the-box solution enabling Magellan customers to collect and post-process geolocalised data using Effigis OnPOZ software on the Magellan eXplorist GIS Pro 10.

As part of the partnership, three Effigis OnPOZ precision positioning software products are available for the Magellan eXplorist GIS Pro 10, a rugged, lightweight and waterproof handheld GPS device specifically designed for professional GPS/GIS data collection: geospatial data acquisition software EZTag CE, GNSS Driver for ArcPad and GNSS post-processing software EZSurv.

With its rugged IPX-7 waterproof casing, the Magellan eXplorist GIS Pro 10 is designed for GIS professionals who need to collect GPS/GIS data. The GPS device can deliver 3 to 5 metres accuracy in real time using its internal GPS receiver and works with supported Bluetooth-enabled GPS receivers to achieve 1 to 3 metre accuracy. Powered by Windows Mobile v6.5 OS, the Pro 10 GPS device allows GIS professionals to run GIS data collection software such as Effigis, and a wide range of Windows Mobile data collection applications.

Effigis OnPOZ software for the Magellan eXplorist GIS Pro 10 is available from Magellan’s authorised GIS resellers as a bundled option with the GPS device or as a software-only add-on for users who previously purchased the Pro 10 model.
