Satellite Information and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)
Trimble was kind enough to create a document with links to follow the status of GNSS. We updated a few that redirected us. GPS Status GLONASS Status Galileo Status Satellite Launch Schedule
Article on the History of GPS
We thought this was an interesting and all encompassing (well encompassing up to the turn of the century) article about the history of GPS. Check it out!... The Global Positioning System
Sign Management Program – Minimum Reflectivity Standards
Agencies must have a sign management program in place to insure that signs along roadways meet certain minimum retro-reflectivity standards. In 2008, the FHWA required that state and local agencies must assess and develop a sign replacement plan by January 2012. Non-compliant warning and regulatory signs must be in compliance by 2015 and [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

New Post Processing Engine: Trimble® DeltaPhase™ Suburban Test Site Results
Trimble's new post processing engine uses the latest GNSS technologies enabling existing users to utilize better product performance with their existing Trimble devices. According to Trimble, "The new Trimble® DeltaPhase™ technology provides considerable improvement in code postprocessing accuracy in all environments. Users can expect [...]
Data Collection and Positioning Yield
Traditional data collection software used fixed masks (satellite elevation level, SNR values, PDOP,etc.) to determine which GPS satellite signals to shield. Although this insured that most poor signals were rejected, it also caused many perfectly usable signals to be ignored. Because the new Trimble postprocessing engine achieves better [...]
Trimble Test Sites
Before Trimble released the test results for their new postprocessing engine, they allowed us to see their three "test sites." Trimble uses three, very different, testing sites to research receivers under two extreme environments and one "typical" environment. Each test site contains 26 carefully planned survey locati0ns offering different [...]
