It wasn’t just us. Our clients were asking about the next generation too… As I was writing a quote for a 2008 GeoXH now apart of the GeoExplorer 3000 Series, I got the news. “Time to update and revamp the quote…again!” The 6000 series is a wonderful upgrade to the older handhelds that have become the staple mapping and GIS handheld product for Trimble.
Should you upgrade? The handheld includes a dual-frequency GPS and GLONASS receiver and antenna giving you even better real-time accuracy (GeoXH – 10 cm / 4 inches). It has a 3.5G data modem and an extra GB of storage space (compared to the 3000 series) for those of you that just can’t let things go. It also runs on Windows Mobile 6.5. It has a larger touch screen and sunlight optimized display for you old folks and a 5 megapixel built in camera *with geotagging* for you hipsters. Photo capture and linking of images to GIS features has never been so seamless and simple.
The Floodlight satellite shadow reduction can compute positions even with very weak satellite signals. The software increases the number of positions that are gathered in difficult locations, and boosts accruacy in those places where normally only low accuracy data is available.
Overall, this is a great upgrade and offers you better accuracy, performance, A CAMERA!, larger screen, less disruptions. Trimble nailed it!
