Do you have a group that needs to learn ArcGIS? GEO-Jobe recently held an ArcGIS Desktop I training class for several airport personnel at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. The training classes are instructed by GEO-Jobe’s Senior VP, Neill Jobe. GEO-Jobe offers ArcGIS Desktop I, ArcGIS Desktop II, and ArcGIS Desktop III training anywhere in the country.
Don’t have a group but would like to attend the classes? You can still register to attend our monthly training classes held at our Nashville office! Register and view our Training Class Schedule at our website at www.geo-jobe.com.
Significantly increase your accuracy without upgrading your hardware!
Trimble recently announced the new software releases of TerraSync, GPScorrect (w/ArcPad), Pathfinder Office, and GPS Analyst increase your accuracy regardless of the model year of your Trimble unit (Geo3 and forward).
Whether you are a forester working under canopy or a city engineer working in an urban environment, the accuracy improvements will be significant. Please attend Duncan-Parnell’s webinar to learn about this new technology, required settings for the GPS and office software, and accuracy results expected.
GeoXH, ProXH, ProXRT receivers: these receivers will now be 10cm (4 inch) more often and in more places. It will now be easier to achieve 10cm in canopy, you can achieve it faster (eg: if it took 60-90 seconds before, it will now be 20 seconds), and with longer baselines. A rover unit could not be 200km from a dual-freq base and still achieve 10cm. The ProXRT can now post-process GLONASS as well.
GeoXT, ProXT: this product, when using these new versions of TerraSync has been re-spec’d to 50cm (20 inch) rather than just “sub-meter”. Results will now be smoother as well.
Juno: this receiver has also been re-classified to a 1-3m receiver from a 3-5m receiver. The increased post-processing ability will take this Sirf receiver reliably to 1-3m, and in practical terms closer to 1m. Increased yield and smoother accuracy in canopy are a big benefit for the Juno. Note that this applies to the Juno SB, SC, and ST.
We will host this webinar twice, please register for the date and time that best fits your schedule below.

The MiFi2200 and Your Real-Time GPS Equipment
The MiFi™2200 (80211B & 80211G) by Novatel Wireless connects to Verizon’s 3G Network and up to 5 of your Wi-Fi devices within 50ft (although we tested successfully from 150 ft in open space) creating a protected wireless network “mobile hotspot” within the nation’s largest 3G coverage area. The size (about the size of a Blackberry) and the wireless capability of the MiFi makes it extremely convenient to carry and share your “mobile office.” Although the battery powered wireless router last only 4 hours in the field (with 40 hours of standby time), it will fully recharge within your lunch break (1/2 hour) with a vehicle power adapter.
Bobby Sullins from West Wilson Utility District asked us to help them utilize the device with their real-time Trimble GPS equipment. It required a unique configuration setup to work properly. The result was a 4in (with mapping grade equipment) to 1cm (with survey grade equipment) accuracy utilizing multiple real-time GPS devices at the same time. Imagine having up to five data collectors in the field loading data to one source without individual connection problems and multiple cell phone payments.
In conjunction with Verizon’s state government rep, Ken Malone, GEO-Jobe is currently implementing the MiFi into their data collection efforts and can help you configure your device to your data collection equipment! Connect the MiFi to your GeoXH, utilizing real time correction from state reference stations, the GEO-Jobe base station, or your own base station, while transferring information from multiple devices simultaneously, and achieving amazing results.
Verizon is offering monthly broadband data plans for the MiFi at $39.99-$59.99 a month (not bad for an uncomplicated multi-user tethering device in an easy to use package).
Your current phone plan (voiceplan, data plan, and tetherable phone option plan) you use for RTK probably cost you more! For more information about the device or how to configure it to your GPS equipment please contact us. Interested parties within the middle Tennessee area can also email ken.malone@verizonwireless.com.
GEO-Jobe has Extended their Customer Support Hours!
To accommodate our East Tennessee clients and local utility companies, we have extended our customer support hours from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. indefinitely.
We know what you’re thinking, “Wow! That’s almost as good as free gift wrapping!” (Don’t forget about Valentine’s Day fellas). The extended support hours enables our customers to work more efficiently, giving them more time in the evening to “shop” for their significant other (or in our case, our mothers!) for this upcoming Valentines Day!..
Starting February 4th, Drew Griswold will be available for calls before 8 a.m. His direct line is (615) 724-5984. You can also reach him from our main office line at (615) 883-0085 ext. 7804.
GEO-Jobe GIS Conducts ArcGIS Training at Gulfport-Biloxi, MS Airport
We are currently conducting ArcGIS Desktop I training in Gulfport, MS. A total of 10 students from three departments (Planning, Operations and IT) within the Airport have attending the training and are familiarizing themselves with the ArcGIS Desktop Platform.
Gulfport-Biloxi Airport is the most recent WD Schock airport client implementing GIS with the help of GEO-Jobe GIS. As part of the implementation, we created a custom ArcGIS Server application allowing all personnel, within the Airport, to have 
access to important GIS information for planning, project tracking, utilities management, and public safety.
This training class is also the first Mobile Training performed with GEO-Jobe’s upgraded Mobile Classroom, allowing the ArcGIS Desktop Training classes to be brought directly to the client.
