Streamlined GPS data processing inside ArcGIS

The Trimble® GPS Analyst™ extension for ESRI ArcGIS Desktop software will streamline your workflow and improve your productivity by enabling you to work directly with GPS data inside your personal geodatabase. Because the extension comes with a package of powerful GNSS postprocessing tools, incorporating the new Trimble DeltaPhase™ differential correction technology, you can be sure you have GPS data that is consistent, reliable, and accurate

The GPS Analyst extension allows you to differentially correct your GPS data directly inside ESRI ArcGIS Desktop software. Postprocessing gives significant improvements on your autonomous accuracy all the way down to decimeter (10 cm / 4 inch) level, depending on the environment and your GPS receiver. Using Trimble's H-Star™ technology you can achieve decimeter accuracy with the GPS Pathfinder® ProXH™ and ProXRT receivers and the GeoXH™ 2008 series handheld. Alternatively, with a GeoXT™ or Juno™ series handheld, or a ProXT™ receiver, you can achieve optimal GPS code processing accuracy with the new Trimble DeltaPhase technology.

Say goodbye to unnecessary file conversions—with the GPS Analyst extension you can bring GPS data straight from the field into the geodatabase. The GPS Analyst extension offers a seamless workflow for the ESRI ArcPad software when combined with the Trimble GPScorrect™ extension for ESRI ArcPad software. Check data out; use, verify, and update the data in the field using ArcPad and the GPScorrect extension; and then check updated data back in. There are no extra steps or complicated procedures to follow. You can even work directly with data from the Trimble TerraSync™ software, for an alternative data collection and maintenance solution.

The GPS Analyst extension is fully customizable with ESRI ArcObjects, giving you the flexibility to adapt it to your data processing needs. You can even take ArcGIS into the field on a laptop computer or Tablet PC, and capture data directly into the geodatabase. If you have your own field solution, write a plug-in that takes advantage of the GPS Analyst extension's powerful data processing tools.

Let the GPS Analyst extension improve your data accuracy and your field-to-office workflow by making GPS data an integral part of your GIS.
