GPS Use

We recommend the following GPS receivers:

Trimble
We have a number of Trimble Dealers that can assemble a complete system for you including Computer, GPS, and our HGIS software. We prefer the Trimble AgGPS series. With a clear view of the sky and a Trimble sub-meter GPS, you can attain better than one meter accuracy.  (If you already have a Trimble dealer, ask about HGIS.) 
 Find the HGIS Dealer nearest you 

Thales / Ashtech / Magellan
For hi-accuracy applications, we recommend Ashtech centimeter grade DGPS.  Our software moniters the Carrier Phase status of these receivers.  This allows us to alert you if the receiver loses Carrier Phase lock ( The GPS reverts to sub-meter accuracy.)  You can then wait until Carrier Phase lock is re-attained in order to resume logging centimeter data.

Garmin
For low cost GPS, we recommend Garmin.  With a clear view of the sky, you can attain an absolute accuracy of about 3 meters (10 feet).  They can be purchased for around US $200.
