72 Juno Series Handhelds User Guide
Using the GNSS receiver
The Juno series handheld includes an integrated GNSS receiver that enables you to
collect GNSS data for incorporating into a GIS or for managing assets. The integrated
receiver tracks only Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.
GPS is a satellite-based positioning system consisting of a constellation of operational
NA
VSTAR satellites that orbit the earth every 12 hours. This system provides
worldwide, all-weather, 24-hour time and position information.
Note – T
o receive signals from GPS satellites, the handheld must have a clear view of the
sky. GNSS positions may not always be available, particularly in or near buildings, in
vehicles, or under tree canopy.

software will be GPS Controller, TerraSync, or the Trimble GPScorrect
