Trimble announced today it will launch its new Trimble® VRS Now™ service for Great Britain in May. The commercial service provides surveyors, civil engineers and geospatial professionals with instant access to real-time kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) corrections without the need for a base station.
Using data from OS Net, the nationwide GPS network operated by Great Britain’s mapping agency Ordnance Survey, the Trimble service delivers centimetre-level RTK positioning customized for each GPS receiver’s exact location anywhere in the network. The Trimble VRS Now service will supply fast and accurate GPS positioning for a variety of applications including surveying, urban planning, urban and rural construction, environmental monitoring, resource and territory management, disaster prevention and relief, and scientific research.
The announcement was made at the World of Geomatics 2006, the United Kingdom’s largest exhibition showcasing measuring, mapping and managing geospatial information technologies.
