Introduction

The Leica Geosystems GS20

The Leica Geosystems GS20 PDM was conceived to provide the GIS community with a GPS data collection device that combines the simplicity of a recreational GPS handheld with the power and flexibility of a professional grade mapping system. The Leica Geosystems GS20 represents a true turnkey GPS/GIS mapping solution by integrating the GPS receiver and antenna within the chassis of handheld data collector. Add to this the built-in efficiency of Bluetooth wireless technology and you only need add power and sky; the rest is up to you.

Philosophy of Operation

•Data Collection is used for the initial recording and attribution of points, lines, and areas.

•Data Management is used for the update of attribution and geometry of an object; including relocation and continuation of existing geometry

•Navigation is only used for the purpose of finding a known location. Any update to the navigated object must be done in Data Management.

•Utilities contains File Browser, Firmware Update and Sensor Transfer

•Setup allows the user to configure software operation settings such as GPS controls, Data Collection Quality Control, external Interfaces, and Units and Formats, and Languages.

•Status provide the user with information related to GPS, external interfaces and the condition of hardware and software.
