 Proven GPS Technology from Trimble
FULLY UPGRADABLE TO
DUAL-FREQUENCY AND RTK OPERATION
Begin using Trimble GPS at an affordable price and then upgrade
to dual frequency and RTK as your needs grow.
TRIMBLE GPS RECEIVER TECHNOLOGY
Proven Trimble L1 GPS technology ensures accurate and reliable
data, and confidence in your results. Trimble Maxwell technology
delivers superior satellite tracking, faster measuring, optimal
precision, and lower power usage.
64 MB OF COMPACTFLASH MEMORY
Use this internal removable memory to store more than 1,700
hours of continuous L1 data collection at an average of 15-second
intervals.
MODULAR DESIGN
Clip the receiver to your belt, tuck it into a comfortable
backpack, attach it to a tripod, or configure it with all
components on a compact lightweight range pole. Mount the
antenna where you need it while keeping the receiver in a
convenient location.
SUPER-FAST DATA TRANSFER
Transfer data to a PC at speeds of more than
1 Mb/s—ten times faster than the fastest serial port.
FULL METAL JACKET
Trimble 5700 GPS Systems boast the toughest mechanical and
waterproofing specs in the business.
EASY TO USE
Just set it up and turn it on. The 5700 automatically acquires
satellites and starts to record data. Combine with a Trimble
Recon data collector and field software to perform detailed
control or topographic surveys.
INTERNAL BATTERIES
Full day operation on a single charge. Convenient, easy to
replace. Integrated battery charger. No need for external charger.
Simple to use.
WAAS AND EGNOS
WAAS and EGNOS capability lets you perform real-time
differential surveys to GIS grade without a base station.
LIGHTWEIGHT
The magnesium alloy case is stronger than aluminum, but
also 30% lighter—the 5700 L1 weighs just 1.4 kg (3 lb) with
batteries.
TRIMBLE GEOMATICS OFFICE SOFTWARE—POWERFUL
POSTPROCESSING
After completing your field work, transfer your 5700 L1 data to the Trimble Geomatics
Office software, Trimble’s advanced GPS and conventional survey data processing and
link package.
When 5700 L1 is used with Trimble Geomatics Office, you can perform control surveys
with short occupation times to generate subcentimeter results. In addition, Trimble
Geomatics Office is designed to streamline GPS postprocessing tasks, reducing
the time needed to process the GPS data collected in the field. A variety of quality
assurance and quality control (QA/QC) tools make identifying unexpected results
very simple, as are the tools to correct field errors. The network adjustment feature
enables you to perform more advanced surveys and conducted detailed analysis and
adjustment of your results.
Work with everyone: Even if your clients use a different design or CAD system, Trimble
Geomatics Office software can accept data from, and output data to, over fifty data
formats, including most popular survey, data collector, GIS, and CAD formats.
TRIMBLE A3 ANTENNA
The Trimble A3 antenna is a high-quality
GPS antenna that is especially designed
for resistance to signal interference and
multipath. Multipath, which can be caused
by obstacles such as trees or buildings,
can result in inaccurate measurements. The
Trimble A3 maximizes the Trimble Maxwell
technology in the 5700 L1 to provide the
best possible performance.
