Trimble announces subfoot GPS Accuracy Unit
Trimble announced the release of the GeoXH handheld. The is GeoHX is Trimble's top-of-the-line solution for high accuracy GIS data collection. It's not exactly engineered or targeted at the usual backwoods GPS geocacher. Engineered with H-Star technology, the GeoXH handheld delivers the subfoot (30 cm) GPS accuracy required by electric and gas utilities, water and wastewater services, land reform projects, and other applications where accurate positioning is crucial.
With H-Star technology, there's no need to initialize-in the time taken to record your attribute information, the GeoXH handheld logs the data you need to achieve subfoot accuracy. If you need the very best accuracy, you can add a Zephyr antenna to your GeoXH handheld to get 8 inch (20 cm) accuracy. Not that I want all of this right now, but the accuracy starts to open up possibilities for us regular GPS folks. The golfing uses are interesting as feet can matter to high end golfers out there who make a living on a game of inches.
The GeoXH handheld comes with a 416 MHz processor running the most advanced operating system available-Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0 software for Pocket PC. Windows Mobile is the industry standard open platform for mobile devices, so you can choose a software solution to match your workflow, whether off-the-shelf or purpose built.
Another aspect that is interesting and potentially useful for us low on the food chain is the inclusion of built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth. In an ever connected world, communication between devices is going to be the cost of entry.
