Accuracy on Demand
Trimble® Catalyst™ is a revolutionary GNSS concept delivering positioning-as-a-service to mobile devices.
With the addition of the simple, lightweight Trimble DA2 GNSS receiver and an on-demand accuracy-based subscription, turn your Android™ or iOS device into a precision mapping, navigation, and measurement tool you can use with any location enabled app or service.
There are some key differences between the DA1 and DA2 hardware – the DA2 is classed as a full GNSS receiver that fits in your pocket – whilst the DA1 is an antenna only solution.
The table below highlights some of the other major differences between the two;
| DA1 | DA2 | |
| Maximum Precision | 1cm H / 2cm V | 1 cm H / 2cm V |
| Android or iOS? | Android only | Android & iOS |
| Features Trimble ProPoint? | No | Yes |
| Product classification | Antenna | Full GNSS Receiver |
| Satellites | GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS, MSS, SBAS | GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS, MSS, SBAS |
