Trimble announced today significant updates to its entire portfolio of Mapping & GIS field and office software products. These enhancements focus on improved GNSS accuracy for data collection under a variety of conditions that deliver additional benefits to users of Trimble Mapping & GIS solutions. With the introduction of a new postprocessing engine, Trimble has further enhanced its powerful set of GNSS postprocessing tools, improving accuracy and consistency of data collected from all Trimble Mapping & GIS equipment, even in multipath and canopy environments. A key addition to the set of tools is Trimble DeltaPhase technology, a revolutionary new technique for improving the accuracy of GNSS code measurements.

With Trimble DeltaPhase technology, results from receivers such as the GeoXT handheld and GPS Pathfinder ProXT show 50 centimeter accuracy in good environments and improved yield under canopy and in multipath prone areas. Results are also significantly improved for the Juno series handhelds with postprocessed accuracy now in the 1 to 3 meter range.

For H-Star technology receivers such as the GeoXH handheld and GPS Pathfinder ProXH, the new postprocessing engine uses the latest high precision GNSS technologies to achieve decimeter  horizontal and vertical accuracy with greater consistency at longer baselines, in tougher environments, and with shorter occupations.

The new software updates also provide support for GLONASS data collection. GLONASS measurements can now be logged with the GPS Pathfinder ProXRT receiver with the GLONASS option enabled, and GLONASS postprocessing is supported directly in Trimble Mapping & GIS office software.

Software updates now available for download by eligible customers include TerraSync and GPS Pathfinder Office software, Trimble GPScorrect and GPS Analyst extensions and the GPS Pathfinder Software Development Kit.
