GPS

Since their introduction of mapping-grade GPS in 1988, Trimble has consistently been at the cutting edge of the technology. Their hardware and software options are by far the most varied of any manufacturer and Trimble’s mapping technology is the evolution of almost 20 years of experience. Seiler is proud to have represented Trimble’s mapping products in the Midwest for over 10 years. After reviewing our website, please contact your local Mapping Staff so we can better assist you. For a tutorial on how GPS works, please visit Trimble’s GPS Tutorial. You can also view Trimble’s Mapping and GIS brochure, the most comprehensive GPS mapping solutions on the market!

The best question to ask first is what sort of positional accuracy are you looking for?

Sub-centimeter accuracy (survey-grade)

Decimeter accuracy (10cm / 4in)

Subfoot accuracy

Submeter accuracy

1-3 meter accuracy

2-5 meter accuracy

No GPS position is needed (field data collector only)

Note: All accuracy specifications assume Trimble-defined requirements are met. To see all of Trimble’s Mapping/GIS products and their specifications on one document, you may view the Trimble Mapping and GIS System Components Chart.
