all the memory you need

If you need submeter accuracy in real time,

you can use corrections from a satellite-based
augmentation system (SBAS) like WAAS or
EGNOS, or use the integrated Bluetooth
radio to connect to a Trimble GeoBeaconTM
receiver. And if you need that extra edge in
precision, you can collect data with Trimble
TerraSyncTM software or the GPScorrectTM
extension for ESRI ArcPad software, and then
postprocess back in the office.

Theres plenty of storage space in the GeoXT

handheld for all your GIS data, and with its
fast processor even big graphics files load
quickly. Because the GeoXT handheld runs
Windows Mobile Version 5.0 software, all
your data and applications are stored in

3 Bluetooth and wireless LAN type approvals are country specific. GeoExplorer 2005 series handhelds
have Bluetooth and wireless LAN approval in the U.S. and EU. For other countries please consult
your local Distributor.
4 Fully compatible with USB v2.0 computers.
5 Horizontal Root Mean Squared accuracy. Requires data to be collected with minimum of 4 satellites,
maximum PDOP of 6, minimum SNR of 39 dBHz, minimum elevation of 15 degrees, and reasonable
multipath conditions. Ionospheric conditions, multipath signals or obstruction of the sky by
buildings or heavy tree canopy may degrade precision by interfering with signal reception. Accuracy
varies with proximity to base station by +1 ppm for postprocessing and real-time.
6 Accuracy varies with proximity to base station by +5 ppm.
