KEY FEATURES
Trimble Floodlight satellite shadow reduction technology option
More positions and increased accuracy in tough environments
Sunlight readable display
For unmatched clarity in bright sunlight
3.5G cellular capability
High-speed Internet connectivity in the field
5 megapixel autofocus camera
Capture high quality photographs and link directly to features
Field-swappable battery
All day operation and the convenience of swap-and-go battery replacement
Accurate, productive, reliable data collection
Integrating both a GPS/GLONASS receiver and a dual frequency GNSS antenna, the Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 series delivers accuracy you can depend on to record new assets, or reliably navigate back to previously recorded locations.
Used with Trimble's range of powerful field and office software, GeoExplorer 6000 series handhelds allow you to work faster and in more places than ever before. The Trimble GeoExplorer series can deliver down to centimeter accuracy—either postprocessed or in real time for the confidence the job is done right while still on site.
Trees and buildings create "satellite shadows", limiting the areas where you can reliably collect high-accuracy GNSS data. Using Trimble Floodlight technology, the GeoExplorer 6000 series continues to deliver productive, usable data under tree canopy or in urban canyons. You can work with fewer disruptions, meaning better data, faster, at less cost.
Designed for work, wherever you work
The Trimble GeoExplorer series works for the way you work. The built-in 5 megapixel autofocus camera, with geotagging capability, gives you one of the best ways to capture information about an asset, event, or site. A sunlight-optimized display maintains exceptional clarity in all outdoor conditions for crisp on screen text and images. And you can stay connected with an optional integrated 3.5G cellular modem for continuous network and Internet access to real-time map data, web-based services, Trimble VRS™ corrections, and live update of field information.
With the Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 series you can work productively and handle the toughest conditions.

1. GLONASS is enabled on GeoXT and GeoXH handhelds with Floodlight technology enabled.
2. Accuracy and reliability may be subject to anomalies due to multipath, obstructions, satellite geometry, and atmospheric conditions. Always follow recommended GNSS data collection practices. Specified Centimeter accuracy can normally be achieved for baselines of 30 km or less. Specified H-Star accuracy can normally be achieved for baseline lengths of 100 km or less. Centimeter and H-Star accuracy is typically achieved within 2 minutes. Carrier postprocessed accuracy is limited to data collected within 10 km of the base station used for corrections.
3. Stated accuracy is for the Zephyr Model 2 antenna.
4. SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System). Includes WAAS; available in North America only, EGNOS; available in Europe only and MSAS; available in Japan only.
5. Actual run time will vary with conditions and environment of use.
6. Not available on all configurations. The GeoXH and GeoXT 3.5G edition handhelds are PTCRB certified and can operate on supported networks that do not require carrier certification. Consult with your local reseller for more information.
7. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi type approvals are country specific. GeoExplorer 6000 series handhelds have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi approval in the U.S. and in most European countries. For further information please consult your local reseller.
