Jersey uses it’s own coordinate system and is not covered by the SmartNet RTK Service provided by Leica! DGPS equipment brought over from the UK for conducting surveys in Jersey will not work correctly.
The Jersey GDS Differential GPS Base Station has now been established and is transmitting differential corrections for use by subscribers of the service. The Government of Jersey operate the Differential GPS service for the benefit of local architects, surveyors and utility companies. Initially the service is aimed at users whose requirements are primarily for positional accuracy, with up to 1cm accuracy achievable, but where Height accuracy is not critical to them. Once the Government of Jersey Differential GPS Base Station is moved to its new site, which is expected take place later this year, the optimal Height accuracy achievable with the Zeno 20 will be improved to +/- 2cm.
Differential GPS Equipment Hire
Leica Geo-systems DGPS Leica FLX100 with Zeno Mobile.
Digimap have available for hire a Leica FLX100, fully configured for the Government of Jersey Differential GPS correction service and ready to go.
As the FLX100 is so easy to use, within just 10 minutes of training you can be ready to go onsite and record locations of assets to an optimal horizontal accuracy of +/- 1cm. The Zeno 20 incorporates the latest GPS technology, making it quicker to get a lock on both the GPS and GLONAS Satellites, saving you time onsite.
A typical scenario could be a utility asset surveyor, collecting position and attribute data of services uncovered in a trial trench. Using the Leica FLX100 DGPS system the surveyor would: Collect the position, orientation, depth, and details of the services found directly into the device, not have to make a sketch of the locality and note coordinates of the features, the position data given by the DGPS is directly compatible with the Jersey mapping. Be able to accomplish the work accurately, quickly, in any weather, and by one person with minimal training.
