Land & Satellite Surveys is first UK company to invest in Trimble’s next generation R10 GNSS KOREC is delighted to announce that the first of Trimble’s next generation R10 GNNS receivers has been delivered to Land & Satellite Surveys (L&SS) for use on the high profile London Gateway project. The Trimble R10 is the smallest and lightest receiver in its class combining  ground breaking technologies including Trimble HD-GNSS for faster and more accurate surveying, Trimble SurePoint™ electronic bubble for focus in one place and Trimble xFill™ which provides RTK coverage during connection outages. London Gateway is being built by the… Read More

Trimble has a history of releasing new products at Intergeo and this year’s Hanover show was no exception! Trimble R10 next Generation GNSS Surveying Solution The Trimble R10 is the smallest and lightest receiver in its class combining  groundbreaking technologies including Trimble HD-GNSS, Trimble SurePoint™, Trimble 360, and Trimble xFill™ With the introduction of the Trimble R10, Trimble also released new versions of its field and office software — Trimble Access 2012.20 and Trimble Business Center 2.80 to extend Trimble’s Connected Site® survey solution. This powerful solution enables surveyors to collect and process reliable data more efficiently. Smallest and lightest receiver… Read More

We are delighted to announce that Trimble’s new Pro Series of high-accuracy GNSS receivers for GIS and mobile mapping applications is now available from KOREC. The modular Pro Series includes the Pro 6H (delivering decimetre accuracy) and Pro 6T (delivering submetre accuracy) receivers and has been designed to offer ‘either/or’ alternatives in a number of key areas: Handheld or tablet data collector Real-time or postprocessed workflows Connectivity via Bluetooth®, serial, or USB to external devices In a backpack, on a pole, or mounted on a vehicle With a Trimble Pro series receiver, customers can collect data their way, while maintaining… Read More

It has come to our attention that it is no longer possible to compute fixed positions from GNSS (GPS) observations using Trimble Geomatics Office software. This results from the number of GPS seconds rolling over 1 billion shortly after midnight on 14th September 2011 (0 seconds having been set on 6th January 1980) and the WAVE Baseline Processor not being able to handle the numbers involved therefore any data observed on or after this date will not process to a fixed position in TGO. It is still possible to process float solutions although this does not usually provide sufficient accuracy… Read More

KOREC is delighted to announce that Trimble has just launched  the Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 Series of high-accuracy Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) handheld computers. The series delivers dramatic improvements in difficult GNSS environments such as urban canyons and under tree canopy using Trimble® FloodlightTM satellite shadow reduction technology. Purpose built for high-accuracy data collection, the 6000 Series integrates a range of new features-including a dual-frequency GPS and GLONASS receiver and antenna, 5-megapixel camera and 3.5G data modem. The handheld’s large sunlight-readable display, field-swappable battery, and powerful processor are designed to meet the daily challenges of the most demanding GIS workflows…. Read More

At the end of the 3 day GNSS training course run this past week in Huntingdon, a little time was spent going through how to check the optical plumb on the tribrach. We spend a great deal of time making sure that when we establish new control points using GNSS that the processing is done to a high degree of precision. However during the course of the survey the antenna is generally mounted in a tribrach on top of a tripod. It therefore seems sensible that before undertaking a control survey that the circular bubble and optical plumb on the tribrach are tested. These… Read More

For all those who use Trimble office software to post-process GNSS survey data there is now a new configuration update file available dated 20th May 2010. This file updates the antenna and receiver information used in GPS post processing to ensure that the best possible levels of accuracy are achieved from your data. As the Ordnance Survey take advantage of the regular improvements in receiver and antenna technology it is important to keep up to date with the characteristics of any new hardware in order to calculate GPS positions accurately and correctly. The latest Configuration update file can be found… Read More
