Differentially correct to improve GNSS accuracy
Trimble GPS Analyst extension allows you to differentially correct your GNSS data directly inside Esri ArcGIS for Desktop software. Depending on the environment and your GNSS receiver, postprocessing gives significant improvements on your autonomous accuracy all the way down to decimeter (10 cm / 4 inch) level. Trimble GPS Analyst extension supports the complete Trimble Mapping and GIS GNSS receiver portfolio and most handheld computers, as well as associated positioning technologies such as Trimble H-Star™.
Store detailed information about the quality of your GNSS data
You use your GIS every day to make critical decisions, so you need to know that you can trust your data. Trimble GPS Analyst extension allows you to specify the GNSS accuracy required for each feature class. Once you have processed your GNSS data, the extension quickly checks that feature positional accuracy matches your criteria, and helps you to fix or flag any exceptions. Plus, the extension stores detailed information about the source and quality of each and every GNSS position in the geodatabase, and provides powerful tools for querying and analyzing this information.
Maximize your productivity
Say goodbye to unnecessary file conversions—with Trimble GPS Analyst extension you can effortlessly bring GNSS data straight from the field into the geodatabase. The extension offers a seamless workflow for Esri ArcPad software with Trimble GPScorrect™ extension for Esri ArcPad software. Check data out; use, verify, and update the data in the field using Esri ArcPad and Trimble 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 Trimble TerraSync™ software for an alternative data collection and maintenance solution. Now, all your GNSS processing needs are met within Esri ArcGIS for Desktop. It's the GIS environment you know—so expect to become more productive immediately, and with only minimal training.
Extend and customize with ArcObjects
As an open extension to ArcObjects, Trimble GPS Analyst extension can easily be extended and adapted to match your data processing needs. If you have your own field solution, write a plug-in that takes advantage of Trimble GPS Analyst extension's versatile data processing tools.
