Integrated 2.0 Megapixel Camera
That’s right, a 2.0 megapixel camera with auto focus picture taking ability. Use the 256MB of built-in Flash memory to store photos on board. Use the external SD card slot for additional memory. Digital photographs can be stored in either .bmp or .jpg format for additional speed and flexibility.
Integrated Laser Distance Meter
Use the internal laser distance meter in conjunction with the compass to map offset points which are inaccessible, unsafe or are in places with poor satellite coverage. As an added bonus, the laser can also be used in conjunction with Topcon field software functions to calculate the height and width of features mapped in the field.
Extra Memory
The GMS-2 Pro is loaded with memory. 256MB Flash is standard. The SD card slot and the mini USB Host functionality provide expandable memory options and accelerated data transfer capabilities.
Integrated Barcode Reader
The digital camera doubles as a barcode reader. Store the barcode information directly in the text field as attribute data. There are so many possibilities for this function that we are sure our users will surprise us with unique applications.
BR-1 Beacon Receiver
For real-time submeter mapping applications the GMS-2 Pro can be wirelessly connected to the Topcon BR-1 beacon receiver. The BR-1 is designed to relay Coast Guard Beacon corrections wirelessly to the GMS-2 Pro receiver for increased accuracy. Running on rechargeable batteries common to the GMS-2 Pro, the BR-1 will provide added fiexibility and accuracy to the GMS-2 Pro mapping system.
Field Software Solutions
No mapping solution is satisfactory unless the software is easy to use and learn. Topcon offers a variety of software solutions and as well as partner solutions for the GMS-2 family of products. Whether it’s an existing sophisticated ESRI ArcPad® customization or a deployment of many novice users into the field, Topcon has a software solution to suit. Field Tools for ArcPad® is an extension for ESRI’s ArcPad® mobile GIS software, allowing a user to take full advantage of the GMS-2 Pro’s integrated camera, compass, laser distance meter, and barcode reader.
Other primary features include:
- Informative, graphical GPS Status screen displaying GPS and Glonass satellites
- High accuracy mapping using real-time and post-processing techniques
- Log raw data for post-processing
- Work in native shape file formats
- Geotagged images
Topcon software also provides the flexibility to connect to high accuracy survey grade receivers for cm-level results in real-time. This provides a complete solution for GIS users who have high accuracy database requirements. Keeping a GIS database up-to-date can be a challenge. GIS departments must figure out a way to do more with less people and less funding. With the Topcon GMS-2 Pro, accurate data can be mapped in less time with less effort. Tracking both the US GPS and the GLONASS satellite constellations means less down time in the field. Easy-to-use software allows for deployment of multiple users in the field. The integrated digital camera and laser distance meter means field personnel will return to the office safely with more detailed information than ever before. This little GMS-2 Pro is the simple answer to some of your biggest GIS data collection and maintenance challenges.
