GS5/GS5+

Discontinued

Fully integrated GPS/DGPS receivers for instant access to the world of GPS.


The GS5/GS5+ is designed as an all-in-one GPS/GIS data collection system, providing highly accurate GPS input to field mapping packages, such as ESRI's ArcPad™. Two receiver types are available: the GS5, which provides 2-3m autonomous accuracy, and the GS5+, which includes a two channel beacon receiver, and offers 1m accuracy in DGPS mode.

Both receivers are offered standalone or bundled with ESRI's ArcPAD 6.0 and a rugged Windows CE field device. The bundle offers a comprehensive solution for primary field data acquisition, data visualization, and data maintenance tasks utilizing GPS.
