GPS Equipment
Students working with GPS equipmentEQUIPMENT USED DURING GPS WORKSHOP

In the interest of standardization and efficiency, during this workshop, commercial mapping-grade GPS receiver systems (GEO XT/XH series, the industry's workhorse, Terrasync GPS software, and Pathfinder Office integration/processing software; Trimble Navigation, LTD.) will be used. No other systems or unit types will be used during this course, due to the variation in operation across different manufacturers' equipment. 
NOTE:  Folks trained on GEO XT/XH series units will easily be able to use GEOEXPLORER CE units.  Further, by training on Terrasync GPS software, folks will be able to use any windows CE unit they wish to integrate with Trimble GPS systems, such as Pro XR systems and RECON dataloggers.

Workshop size is limited to 10 participants to keep the equipment-to-participant ratio high, and participant-to-instructor ratio low. FIVE (5) GEO series XT/XH units will be available, enough for 2 people per unit. If participants have their own GEO series receivers they are encouraged to bring them and train with them. However, this is NOT necessary.
