Thales has introduced GPSDifferential Module, a software extension for MobileMapper CE that seamlessly adds the power of post processing to virtually any mobile GIS/mapping software application. With the GPSDifferential Module, sub-meter and up to sub-foot mapping is easy to achieve, even where real-time corrections are not available, or when used in difficult signal environments required by applications such as forestry. GPSDifferential Module is a software extension that fully integrates into third-party mobile GIS software applications. Behind the scenes and without interrupting normal workflow, GPSDifferential Module automatically logs the raw data that is required for reliable sub-meter post-processed differential corrections. In certain conditions and with an external Thales GPS precision antenna, accuracy up to sub-foot can be consistently achieved. The Thales GPSDifferential Module is a business partner and software integrator (1) In electronics, a device that combines an input with a variable, such as time, and provides an analog output; for example, a watt-hour meter. (2) See systems integrator. tool that includes MobileMapper Office software for post-processing. When GPSDifferential Module is integrated into a GIS (1) (Geographic Information System) An information system that deals with spatial information. Often called "mapping software," it links attributes and characteristics of an area to its geographic location. application, raw data collection functions can be accessed that will store the data in a separate raw data field that will be later recognized by MobileMapper Office. This will affect neither real-time data Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Some uses of this term confuse it with the term dynamic data. collection storage nor the structure of the real-time data format. The raw data file stored by this software extension can be post-processed using MobileMapper Office. Post-processed data is exported with attributes in industry standard formats. Software Integrators find that GPSDifferential Module easily merges with their own solutions without the need to change the data structure to support post-processing or create office-based post-processing software. About MobileMapper CE MobileMapper CE is a handheld GPS Handheld GPS use GPS Signal from a minimum of 3 overhead satellites to obtain a fix which is usually accurate to within 30m. Actual accuracy can be achieved down to 5m but due to US Military intervention accuracy is restricted. Popular brands include Garmin, Magellan Navigation. receiver for GIS and many other data collection applications. It sets a new standard for performance and affordability. MobileMapper CE offers an impressive array of high-performance features, including real-time, sub-meter GPS positioning, embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. Microsoft Windows See Windows.
