- GPS Theory Basics
- What is GPS
- Real Time vs. Post Processing
- Learn about GLONASS (Russian), Galileo (European), and other satellite constellations
- Trimble Product Reviews
- GeoExplorer 2008 Series (GeoXM, GeoXT, GeoXH)
- Pathfinder Series (ProXT, ProXH, ProXRT)
- Nomad
- Juno ST/SB/SC
- NetR5 Reference Station

- H-Star Technology Overview
- Real-Time Mapping – Do YOU want a High-Accuracy Real-Time Mapping Solution? – Come see it in action!! Requires no post processing for decimeter-level (4″) accuracy.
- Laser Offset Technology – For collecting assets in low satellite signal areas such as when you are close to buildings or under heavy tree canopy. If you can see it, you can capture it.
- Digital Photography – Our inventory is stocked with BRAND NEW 8 megapixel cameras with WiFi capabilities. These cameras allow you to capture high resolution imagery for assets in the field and then automatically transfer the image to the GeoXH/XT handheld maintaining a permanent link to the asset. As the data is exported out to the ArcGIS environment, the picture and link are automatically maintained and available for viewing back in the office.
- GIS/GPS Field to Finish Solution – Now you can get more done in less time with this turnkey package by GEO-Jobe GIS. Featuring out of the box solutions for Water, Gas, Electric, Stormwater, Wasterwater, Telecom, and more. We bring the complex down to a manageable workflow. With training added in, you’ll be up and running in no time.
- Mobile Editing - With so many handhelds and PDA devices now in the field, updating data in real time is not just possible, it’s now readily available. Access your data out in the field on the PDA and perform edits and updates which allows synchronizing back to the office as often as you see fit.
- In-Vehicle Mapping - GEO-Jobe GIS is a reseller of Panasonic Toughbooks and has already outfitted several utilities with In-Vehicle Mapping Systems. The latest Toughbooks come with internal GPS and broadband cards which provides flexibility for automated locating and updating in the field. This means workorders, for example, can be transmitted to and from vehicles from the office. Plus, add Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) technology and your fleet will be more efficient at responding to incidents when they occur.
- Fleet Equipment Management – GEO-Jobe GIS provides complete packages for your crews. From Toughbooks loaded with ESRI ArcGIS and ArcPad to Trimble GPS hardware and software packages, let us help you standardize your fleet so all of your employees are outfitted with the same equipment, fully setup and configured at GEO-Jobe, and delivered ready to go.

While editing in GIS there are many times when you have to eyeball certain edits. There are many built in features that cut down on the need, but for some cases you just have to use your best judgment. Test your skills at eyeballing here: http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/ This is too fun! The test gives you 7 challenges: Complete the second half of a parallelogram, find the midpoint of a line, bisect an angle, find the center of a triangle, find the center of a circle, create a 90 degree angle, and find the point of convergence. The game measures how far off your guess was from reality and averages your score over three trials. I was surprised at how far off some of my guesses were. Part optical illusion, and part experience. On my fourth try I scored 3.15 (lower is better), so let me know if you can beat that!
For an added challenge, try the one click method… place your cursor where you think the answer is and click once without dragging the cross hair to the desired location.
Enjoy! Submit your scores in the comments!
