Geo Explorer GeoXH Handheld 6000 Series


Decimeter accuracy, Trimble productivity, handheld convenience
The Trimble® GeoExplorer® 6000 series takes GNSS productivity to a whole new level. Bringing together the essential functionality for high-accuracy field work in one device, the GeoXH™ handheld delivers real-time decimeter (10 cm / 4 inch) accuracy positioning, high quality photo capture, and integrated Internet connectivity options.
Together with the latest field software enhancements and GNSS innovations – including Trimble Floodlight™ satellite shadow reduction technology – the GeoXH handheld establishes a new standard for GNSS system performance and handheld data capture.
The Trimble® GeoExplorer® 6000 series takes GNSS productivity to a whole new level. Combining submeter accuracy GNSS, high quality photo capture, wireless Internet, and connectivity options in a single product, the Trimble GeoXT™handheld is the ideal field device for organizations mapping critical assets and infrastructure, or for anyone needing dependable submeter accuracy GNSS data, simple operation, and repeatable results.
Together with the latest field software enhancements and GNSS innovations – including Trimble Floodlight™ satellite shadow reduction technology – the GeoXT handheld is the ideal submeter field solution for any industry, including utility companies, local government organizations, and federal agencies.
Decimeter accuracy without the wait
For field workers recording the location of buried infrastructure, distinguishing between closely paced assets, or relocating buried equipment, the GeoXH handheld delivers the accuracy and speed required to ensure that the work of recording new asset locations or navigating back to previously captured assets is fast and reliable.
The GeoXH handheld is equipped with a 220 channel GNSS receiver capable of tracking GPS and GLONASS satellites together with an integrated dual-frequency (L1/L2) GNSS antenna. In conjunction with Trimble field software, the GeoXH handheld uses Trimble H-Star™ technology to deliver decimeter accuracy in the field, eliminating the need for backoffice processing and giving the confidence that the job is done right while still on site.
Floodlight satellite shadow reduction
Trees and buildings create shadows, limiting the environments where reliable high-accuracy GNSS data collection can be performed. Using the innovative Trimble Floodlight satellite shadow reduction technology, the GeoXH handheld continues to deliver productive, usable positioning data in areas where legacy GNSS receiver systems cannot.
With Floodlight technology, the GeoXT receiver can compute positions even with very weak satellite signals. Floodlight technology increases the number of positions that are gathered in difficult locations, and boosts accuracy in those places where normally only low accuracy data is available. With the GeoXH handheld, field crew can now work with fewer disruptions, meaning better data, faster, at less cost.
Never-seen-before display performance
The GeoXT handheld includes a sunlight-optimized, display designed specifically for outdoor operation. It maintains exceptional clarity in all outdoor conditions, including direct sunlight. Text is crisp and easy to read. Background maps and photos are rich and vibrant. At 4.2″ (10.7 cm), the display is also big, so the touch panel is spacious and easy to control.
Work online, anywhere
With the GeoXH handheld, wireless connectivity options including cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® technology ensure that field workers can remain in contact with the office and each other, even from remote locations.
An optional integrated 3.5G cellular modem allows continuous network and Internet access to real time map data, web-based services, Trimble VRS™ corrections, and live update of field information. Bluetooth technology also enables wireless connection to other external devices such as Bluetooth-enabled laser range finders, barcode scanners, or underground pipe locators.
High quality photo capture
A photograph is often the best way to capture information about an asset, event, or site. The GeoXT handheld includes a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with geo-tagging capability. The camera can be controlled by the Trimble TerraSync&trade software and other third party applications, so photo capture and linking of images to GIS features is seamless and simple to integrate with existing data capture workflows
Designed for wor
The GeoExplorer 6000 series was designed with a single goal in mind – delivering a high-accuracy handheld GNSS system that works faster, longer, and in more places than any other. The Lithium-Ion battery provides more than 11 hours of GNSS operation on a single charge, and can be swapped on-the-go without shutting down the device – enabling near-continuous operation and minimizing field worker downtime.
The GeoXT handheld is powered by a super-fast OMAP 3503 series processor and 256 MB RAM. With 2 GB of internal storage and the capacity to add an additional 32 GB via SDHC card, the GeoXH handheld has the capacity and power you need to work with high resolution maps and complex datasets.
The fully ruggedized IP65 construction is designed to withstand the harshest environments.  Wherever field workers go, they can take the GeoXT handheld with the confidence that the equipment can handle the toughest conditions.
These smart design features combine with unprecedented accuracy and productivity to deliver the ultimate high performance handheld field solution.
