        v1.82 - GeoExplorer 2005 series, GPS Firmware(GeoExplorer_2005_series_v1.82_GPS_Firmware.exe - 1320 KB)Download this executable to upgrade your GeoExplorer 2005 series handheld to GPS firmware version 1.82.

        Features:
        • Changes were made to the storage of L2 measurements to improve H-Star postprocessing performance when using an external Zephyr L1/L2 antenna. This change only affects the GeoXH handhelds.
        • The version 1.82 GPS firmware addresses an issue with the handling of SBAS (WAAS) corrections which occasionally caused large position jumps near latitudes of 45 degrees North. This issue may have been noticed to a much lesser extent when using SBAS corrections at other 15 degree latitude intervals. This change resolves the problem for all locations and with any SBAS correction source.
        The version 1.82 GPS firmware incorporates the following changes that were made in the version 1.81 firmware:
        • Updated SBAS (WAAS and EGNOS) ephemeris information and tracking to improve initial fix and reacquisition times.
        • The new WAAS satellites (PRNs 135 and 138) are included in the GPS receiver’s default tracking list. This allows the satellites to be tracked when using the “Auto” tracking mode in Trimble field software.
        • Other minor changes to improve system performance and the handling of situations which could cause the GPS receiver to reset.
        Installation Instructions:
        • For full details and instructions on installing the version 1.82 GPS firmware see the Release Notes.
        • If you are planning to use the custom settings to select a specific SBAS satellite you will need to install the latest SBAS.INI file if you have not already.
