About the GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld
The GeoExplorer 6000 series includes the GeoXH
™
and GeoXT
™
handhelds. These handhelds combine
a Trimble GNSS receiver with a field computer
powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile version 6.5
operating system.
The GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld has built-in
Bluetooth
®
wireless technology for cable-free
connection to other devices, and Wi-Fi connectivity
for connections to networks. In addition, some
GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld editions are
equipped with a wireless cellular modem for
downloading and transmitting data over the
Internet.
The GeoXT handheld uses EVEREST
™
multipath
rejection technology to provide submeter accuracy.
The GeoXH handheld uses both EVEREST and
H-Star
™
technology to provide decimeter (10 cm)
accuracy, either in real time or after postprocessing.
In addition, both the GeoXH and GeoXT handhelds
are compatible with Trimble Floodlight
™
satellite
shadow reduction technology for improved
productivity in conditions where sky view is
obstructed by buildings, trees, or landscape features.
For more information, see Chapter 5, Using the GNSS Receiver.
Supported GNSS field software
To collect GNSS data with the GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld, you must install
GNSS field software onto the handheld. You can use the GeoExplorer 6000 series
handheld with the following GNSS field software:
• Trimble TerraSync
™
software, for configuring real-time differential correction
options and for productive GIS data collection and maintenance.
• The Trimble GPScorrect
™
extension for Esri ArcPad software, for configuring
real-time differential correction options and for productive GIS data collection
and maintenance.
• Trimble GPS Controller software, for configuring real-time differential
correction options and NMEA output settings.
• Other GNSS field software that accepts NMEA messages. To use NMEA Output
messages, you must purchase and activate the NMEA output option. See
Activating the Floodlight technology and the NMEA output options, page 74
For more information, see Chapter 5, Using the GNSS Receiver.
