Construction software for Topcon’s GRS-1 rover

gpsLIVERMORE, Calif.– September 10, 2009 – The new GRS-1 handheld RTK GNSS receiver now supports Pocket 3D software. Pocket 3D Version 9.0 is a Windows Mobile® 6.1 release intended only for use with the GRS-1 and is designed to be used as part of a GPS network solution.

Tony Vanneman, TPS construction products marketing manager, said, “Pocket 3D Version 9.0 makes the GRS-1 a complete construction tool.  It includes a grade indicator when performing a ‘surface check’ or when staking out an alignment.  The user can select a tri-color grade indicator similar to the one seen in the 3D-MC software that gives real-time updates of cut and fill values to the design surface alignment.”

The GRS-1 RTK rover features:

— The smallest, lightest RTK rover available;

— 1 cm RTK accuracy;

— Dual frequency GPS + GLONASS receiver;

— Integrated cell phone (GSM, CDMA);
