The Trimble® NetR5TM reference station is now available through Trimble Mapping and GIS dealers. This is great news. Although GEO-Jobe GIS has been offering the NetR5 for years through our Trimble Survey partners, Trimble has now made it even easier for us to support our customers in the Mapping and GIS community. The NetR5 officially replaces the 5700 in our Base Station lineup and is power packed with great features.
So what does this mean for you? Well now you can have your very own end-to-end GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) solutions in house. In fact, to access the full power and features within the Trimble GPS Pathfinder ProXRT receiver and 2008 GeoXH handheld, access to a NetR5 base station is a must, especially if you are looking for decimeter level (10 cm / 4″) accuracy made available on these models.
According to Richard Duncan, Vice-President of GEO-Jobe GIS Consulting:
GEO-Jobe has been selling the NetR5 through our survey partners for years. The NetR5 is the best reference station model Trimble has ever produced due to its versatility, network capabilities, and easy to use web interface. The NetR5 is easily accessible from remote locations via the internet which facilitates easy configuration and tuning. This allows me to keep my clients running smoothly, which I take very seriously.
Some of our current NetR5 clients include:
- Metro Nashville
- Gladeville Utility District
- Consolidated Utility District
- The City of Columbia, TN
The NetR5 is a multi-channel, multi-frequency GNSS receiver designed for use as a stand-alone reference (base) station or as part of a GNSS infrastructure solution. Some of its features include:
- Support for real-time H-StarTM and H-Star postprocessing.
- The NetR5 allows you to broadcast real-time L1/L2 GPS corrections in multiple formats, and to multiple users in the field, to achieve decimeter (10 cm or 4″) or subfoot (<30 cm) accuracy with the 2008 series GeoXH handheld or ProXRT receiver.
- The NetR5 can log the L1/L2 GPS data required for H-Star postprocessing with H-Star capable receivers in GPS Pathfinder Office software or the Trimble GPS Analyst extension for ESRI ArcGIS Desktop software.
- Advanced technology for GNSS support: Trimble R-Track technology in the NetR5 receiver supports the modernized GPS L2C and L5 signals, as well as GLONASS signals, for great satellite availability, more robust tracking, and future proofing.
- Rugged and lightweight
- Easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI)
- Low Power Consumption – up to 20 hours in tough conditions on a single charge
- Limitless expandable memory saves you time
- Flexible applications: Use alone or in a VRS Network
- Seamless integration with other Trimble Infrastructure products and services

One difficult task for me in ArcMap is finding an intersection of two roads. Much of my work is in the state of New Jersey and often times I’m asked to map a new site location from as little as an address or intersection. The NJDOT has a terrific roads layer, however it is difficult to search the entire data set.
Many roads throughout the state share the same name, and some roads have the Highway number, not the common names. I randomly chose Main St and High St as an intersection to search for in ArcMap. 186 results for the two street names!
Enter Google Earth. Searching for an intersection in Google Earth provides excellent results and even offers up alternative answers if you know the city or town.
Once I’ve chosen the appropriate location (the second alternative offered by GE), right click on the pin location and check the properties to get the Latitude and Longitude.
In ArcMap I use the “Go to XY” tool to paste in the coordinates and I can zoom to the exact location! Make sure you choose “Degrees Minutes Seconds” to get Lat and Long instead of X and Y.
The green dot was added from the Go to XY toolbar. The streets weren’t even part of my 186 selected features! Because I searched for “MAIN ST” and the NJDOT geodatabase has it as “MAIN STREET”. And High St was tagged as Essex County 638.
