GMS-2, Microsoft ActiveSync is required. The following software
may be useful for taking full advantage of the integrated features
found in the GMS-2 controller/receiver.
• TopPAD – field data collection software used on a hand-held
controller for GIS surveys. TopPAD is structured to provide the
surveyor with capture and update functions for geographical data
in a wide range of GIS-related applications.
• TopSURV – full-featured data collection software used on a
hand-held controller. TopSURV is structured into several modules
to provide scalable, cost effective functionality for a variety of
uses. Use TopSURV GIS to capture and update functions for
geographical data in a wide range of GIS-related applications.
• CE-CDU – a utility that configures GPS and DGPS receivers
connected to a hand-held controller.
Installing software onto the GMS-2 requires a connection to a
computer that contains the software. Software is first downloaded
onto a desktop/laptop computer, then installed onto a connected
controller via Microsoft ActiveSync.
Refer to the corresponding manual for specific instructions to install
software onto the GMS-2.
