GeoExplorer 6000CSDS Mapping & GIS Specialist Kevin Brown will make a presentation on High Accuracy GIS Data Collection Using Current GPS Technologies at the ESRI Forestry GIS Solutions Conference scheduled for May 24-26, 2011.

The presentation will focus on the many developments that have culminated in a newfound ability to achieve higher accuracies than traditionally possible with Mapping Grade GPS recievers. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how you can collect high accuracy data under canopy and in tough GPS conditions by taking advantage of:

  • Dual frequency (L1/L2)
  • Carrier phase data collection
  • Advanced processing techniques
  • Trimble Floodlight satellite reduction technology
  • Advanced real-time correction sources (including VRS,VSN, OmniStar High Precision, WAAS (SBAS), Beacon and more)

The ESRI Forestry GIS Conference offers an opportunity for you to build your professional community, learn the latest geospatial technology trends, and come away with practical and applicable solutions for your forest. To register, or for more information about the conference, please visit:
