GS5/GS5+ Leica keeps the data flowing…
…no matter what your field.
GPS/GIS Data Collection System:
GS5+
GS5

Leica GS5/GS5+
Designed to keep accurate data flowing, no matter what your field.
The GS5 class of receiver is specifically designed as an all-in-one turnkey system giving
you instant access to the world of GPS. It is ideal for users who need zero hassle, highly
accurate GPS input to field mapping packages, such as ESRI’s ArcPad.
Two receiver types are available: the GS5, which provides 3-4m autonomous accuracy,
and the GS5+, which includes a two channel beacon receiver, and offers 1-2m accuracy in
DGPS mode. Both receivers come in the same ruggedized, fieldworthy housing designed
to minimize cabling.
Included with both the GS5 and GS5+ is everything that you need to get going: batteries,
a handy battery charger and a lightweight antenna pole. All you need to do to get started
is to plug your mapping device into the DB9 connector. Absolutely no setup is required
prior to using the GS5 or GS5+, it is literally plug-and-work.
Features/Benefits:
• Fast, easy set-up and deployment
• Rugged and durable
Withstands even the most extreme environmental conditions.
• Absolutely no configuration required
• Accurate
3-4m GPS, 1-2m DGPS (GS5+ only).
• All-in-one antenna
Internal beacon receiver on the GS5+ means no unwieldy cables. Can support any local coordinate
system on the fly.
Exceptionally easy to deploy, the GS5/GS5+ is ideal for staff
who perform data collection in addition to other tasks, such
as line maintenance.
Attaining accuracies of 3-4 meters in GPS only mode, the
GS5/GS5+ will provide quality data wherever you are in
the world.
Applications

Keep accurate measurement data flowing, no matter what your field.
The ArcPad field mapping software perfectly complements the GS5/GS5+ receivers and
offers users a complete cost-effective GIS mapping/update package. From a data exchange
standpoint, the ArcPad and GS5/GS5+ combination fits seamlessly with the rest of the
Leica Geosystems product line-up, as they all use the Shapefile as the native format.
ArcPad is an easy-to-use package that supports primary data acquisition and update
tasks. It is fully compatible with ESRI’s ArcIMS image services that enable users to upload
images from the web. Interface to ArcIMS can even be live over a wireless link.
ArcPad supports a large number of projections, including Lat/Lon, UTM, Gauss-Kruger,
Lambert Conformal Conic and Cylindrical equal area to ensure compatibility with
your area.
Features/Benefits:
• Display and collect live GPS data on top of your ESRI Shapefile or Raster file
ArcPad supports multiple data formats.
• Live interface to the web for easy field transfer of data
• Familiar GIS interface
Including navigation, query and update.
• Seamless interface to ESRI and Leica GIS products
