Spectra Geospatial SP20 Handheld GNSS Receiver

The SP20 handheld GNSS receiver combines innovative, camera- enabled data collection workflow with a high level of performance in an ergonomic, scalable solution (from meter to cm accuracy). Rugged and lightweight, the SP20 is easy-to-use and highly accurate. It is the optimal tool not only for cadastral, construction, or topo surveys, but also for a range of GIS projects, including data collection, inspection and maintenance.

The 5.3-inch screen delivers vivid visuals of the workflow, which enables precise 2D handheld logging. And the system’s high degree of accuracy can be enhanced with a monopole accessory to deliver solid, survey-grade 3D measurements.

The SP20 works with Penmap for Android. A hyrbrid survey & GIS app for data collection and stake out

• APPLICATIONS

1.) Accuracy and TTFF specifications may be affected by atmospheric conditions, signal multipath, satellite geometry and corrections availability and quality.
2.) Performance values assume minimum of five satellites, following the procedures recommended in the product manual. High multipath areas, high PDOP values and periods of severe atmospheric conditions may degrade performance. Real time accuracies depend on SP20 accuracy option. PP accuracy obtained with ATOM files processed by SPSO.
3.) SP20 cm used with Monopole accessory
4.) Long baselines, long occupations, precise ephemeris used 5 Batteries can be stored up to +70°C.
