Trimble VRS Now Service to Be Launched in Germany
Trimble will launch its Trimble VRS Now service for Germany in December. The commercial subscription service will provide surveyors, civil engineers and geospatial professionals with instant access to Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) corrections without the need for a base station. Using GNSS reference station data from SAPOS, the SAtellite POSitioning Service of the German State Survey, the Trimble service will deliver centimeter-level RTK positioning customised for each GNSS receiver's exact location anywhere in the network. The Trimble VRS Now service will supply fast, easy to use and accurate GNSS positioning for a variety of applications including surveying, urban planning, construction, transportation, environmental monitoring, hydrography, agriculture, resource and territory management, disaster prevention and relief, weather services and scientific research. The announcement was made at Intergeo 2006.
