Accuracy

Autonomous GNSS 3 ft – 50 ft (1-10 meters)

Differentially Corrected– WAAS enabled 2 ft – 18 ft (submeter to 5 m)

– VRS <1 inch to 3 ft (1cm to submeter)

– Post-processed <1 inch to 3 ft (1cm to submeter)

Connecting to the VRS; requires internet

Accuracy - NMEA

Autonomous GNSS 3 ft – 50 ft (1-10 meters)

Differentially Corrected– WAAS enabled 2 ft – 18 ft (submeter to 5 m)

Only supports GPS not GLONASS

– VRS <1 inch to 3 ft (1cm to submeter)

– Post-processed <1 inch to 3 ft (1cm to submeter)

GPS Controller

Windows Mobile and Windows 7

GPS Controller

Conclusion: GPS Controller can be used to output a NMEA format position from a Trimble receiver to use in any software application that uses GPS.

Output Options:– Autonomous GNSS– WAAS corrected GPS– VRS corrected GNSS **

Only works with a receiver that supports multiple ports and a user interface that supports multiple connections.

Post-processed <1 inch to 3 ft (1cm to submeter)
